Affairs
\nand Effects Politics Have in America<\/h3>\n

Politics have been in making positive and negative affairs and effects in America for years to come. Politics have access to something called power and politics is about who gets what, when, why, and how and makes big impacts on America. Power can mean a lot of different things, but in this situation power means getting someone to do something that the person being told or forced to do doesn\u2019t really want to do. Politics has an effect on different subjects, such as war, economics, and healthcare. One example that politics has an effect on is economics.<\/p>\n

Politics and economics are two units that go hand and hand with each
\nother. A question that was being asked on Tejvan Pettinger\u2019s website page is
\n\u201cWhy can\u2019t politics and economics be seen in isolation?\u201d One answer to this
\nquestion can be the fact that the economy doesn\u2019t have to be with or agree to
\nwhat politics say or do. Economics is interested in making an impact for the
\neconomy while politics like to make impacts with power through major sources
\nlike the government, or the elections and political parties. Also, a reason why
\npolitics and the economy is so strong is because the economy is a big part in
\npolitics, although, politics and economics have different thoughts and beliefs.
\nPettinger\u2019s quotes, which is also a few answers to the question, \u201cWhy can\u2019t
\npolitics and economics be seen in isolation?\u201d is being stated: \u201cEconomics is concerned with studying and
\ninfluencing the economy. Politics is the theory and practice of influencing
\npeople through the exercise of power, e.g. governments, elections and political
\nparties\u201d (Pettinger). Pettinger also states: \u201cIn theory, economics could be
\nnon-political. An ideal economist should ignore any political bias or prejudice
\nto give neutral unbiased information and recommendations on how to improve the
\neconomic performance of a country. Elected politicians could then weigh up this
\neconomic information and decide\u201d (Pettinger). \u201cIn practise, there is a strong
\nrelationship between economics and politics because the performance of the
\neconomy is one of the key political battlegrounds. Many economic issues are
\ninherently political because they lend themselves to different opinions\u201d (Pettinger). The political economy is a big
\npart of politics in economics with the topic of sovereign debt along with
\nglobal finance and electrical cycles. Stephen B. Kaplan, written an article from
\nGeorge Washington University informs on what the political economy is expecting
\nout of politicians on what they should and shouldn\u2019t do. For example, in the
\nfirst sentence of his article Stephen B. Kaplan quotes by stating: \u201cPolitical
\neconomy theory expects politicians to use budget deficits to engineer and
\nelectric-timed boom, known as the political business cycle\u201d (Kaplan 605)<\/p>\n

Economics is indeed, popular in America and politics do have a necessary, arguably effect on, but economics is not just a \u201cone brand\u201d thing. In other words, economics is not just a single object, economics can branch out into many different topics, especially dealing with politics and the American government. There is all sides of economics and types of economics but one example of economics is the supply side economics. Another question that was being asked on Pettinger\u2019s website, which is on the supply side economics topic is \u201cWhat are the benefits of supply side economics, mainly for the working class, which also means the middle class of citizens that live in America?\u201d What is really being wanted to know by this question is the pros and cons of the supply side economics, which also means what can and also can\u2019t help? Pettinger answered and said, \u201cSupply side policies encompasses a range of different policies that seek to reduce tax rates and government intervention in the economy. In the US, supply side economics became synonymous with the Laffer Curve theory and the Reagan tax cuts of the 1980s. It is also referred to as \u2018trickle down economics<\/a>\u2019\u201d (Pettinger). The tax reduction means that the tax rates is going down for the middle-class citizens of America.<\/p>\n

Although, that is not the only thing that
\nsupply-side economics is about. Pettinger tells about supply-side economics on
\nhis website and said, \u201cOn the other hand, economists may have a preference to
\npromoting greater equality in society and be more willing to encourage
\ngovernment intervention to pursue that end. If you set different economists to
\nreport on the desirability of income tax cuts for the rich, their policy
\nproposals are likely to reflect their political preferences. You can always
\nfind some evidence to support the benefits of tax cuts, you can always find
\nsome evidence to support the benefits of higher tax\u201d (Pettinger) Pettinger is
\nstating that, yes, economists may prefer for spreading equality in our society
\nand to encourage government intervention, but if we set different economists
\nreporting on the awfulness of income tax for the wealthy and fortunate, their
\npolicy proposals are more than likely going to reflect on their political
\npreferences.<\/p>\n

Another thing that politics have affairs and
\neffects on that is dealt with in America daily is not just economics, but the
\nhealthcare that has become a big deal in America. Healthcare is a huge need
\nthat is well necessary for our society and citizens of America. Although, not
\neveryone in America can afford any type of healthcare under any circumstances
\ndue to financial issues. Godfrey Hodgson talks about in a website about America
\npolitics and health care and states: \u201cThe health care crisis is upon us. In response
\nto soaring costs, a jumbled patchwork of insurance programs, and critical
\nproblems in delivering medical care, some kind of national health insurance has
\nseemed in recent years to be an idea whose time has finally come in America\u201d
\n(Hodgson). \u201cFor those not protected by insurance\u2013and often for those who are
\npartially protected\u2013illness means financial disaster\u201d (Hodgson). <\/p>\n

As a
\nsummarization to Hodgson\u2019s quotes about the healthcare in America, Hodgson is
\ntrying to get across to Americans in our society that healthcare is upon us and
\nhealthcare is well needed. Also, informing that it is necessary and reasonable
\nto describe that people of America can\u2019t live without the usage of healthcare.
\nAlong with that, citizens of America that is not covered by any insurance, or
\ncitizens of America which those who do have any type of insurance and by all
\nmeans is somewhat covered, still will not be capable to financially afford to
\nbe ill or sick due to the fact that the price of healthcare being a complex,
\nfinancial situation. Which then leads to a solution called the Affordable Care
\nAct, which is also known as Obamacare.<\/p>\n

Obamacare
\nis known for being a problem in America since former President, Barack Obama
\ninvented the health insurance. Obamacare was invented for citizens of America
\nthat had lack of healthcare insurance and was well in need. \u00a0Daniel Beland talks about the affordable
\nhealthcare which is Obamacare and states: \u201cAlthough the Affordable Care Act is a highly complex piece of
\nlegislation featuring many regulatory and intergovernmental provisions meant to
\naddress lack of health insurance coverage affecting a variety of different
\ngroups, Medicare and Social Security are much more focused programs offering
\nbenefits primarily to the elderly. Both Medicare and Social Security originated
\nas part of larger pieces of legislation that included other key provisions\u201d
\n(Beland). <\/p>\n

As a summarization of Daniel Beland\u2019s
\nquotes that was used to describe the Affordable Care Act which is also known as
\nObamacare, is describing how Obamacare is popular and how highly known the
\nAffordable Care Act is and how popular this type of insurance is. Although, Medicare
\nand Social Security are programs that are having more attention payed to, which
\nis more popular than Obamacare and those two insurances are mostly beneficial
\nfor citizens that are elderly, retired, on disability and so on. <\/p>\n

Although, Beland talks about Obamacare,
\nthe Medicare, and Social Security, the question about Obamacare is, \u201cIs
\nObamacare worth using?\u201d \u201cWhat is the pros and cons of Obamacare?\u201d Obamacare is
\nmost definitely useful to those who have lack of healthcare insurance.
\nAlthough, all people hear or talk about Obamacare is most of the time in a
\nnegative perspective. Kimberly Arnadeo informs the pros and cons of Obamacare
\nand the benefits and disadvantages of this healthcare system. \u201cObamacare has a
\nlot of benefits that most people don\u2019t know about\u201d (Arnadeo).
\n\u201cThat\u2019s because negative messages about Obamacare outnumbered positive messages
\nfifteen to one\u201d (Arnadeo) This defines a very significant reason on why Donald
\nTrump decided to do away with Obamacare and find a better solution because of
\nall the negative that was being spoken about Obamacare. \u201cEven three years after
\nit was\u00a0approved, 54 percent\u00a0of Americans opposed the Act.\u00a0It led
\nto\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s plan to repeal and replace it<\/a>\u201d
\n(Arnadeo). <\/p>\n

One
\nof the reasons why Americans would choose Obamacare is because Obamacare is
\nsupposed to lower all healthcare cost. Which would also benefit Americans that
\nhave a lack of healthcare insurance. \u201cThe biggest benefit of the ACA is that it
\nlowers overall\u00a0healthcare costs<\/a>\u201d
\n(Arnadeo). \u201cIt does\u00a0this by providing insurance for millions and
\nmaking\u00a0preventive care<\/a>\u00a0free\u201d
\n(Arnadeo). Also, another beneficial reason for Americans that decide to use
\nObamacare as their healthcare insurance is that children can use their parent\u2019s
\nhealthcare insurance until they reach the mid-20s ages. That would give the parent\u2019s
\nchildren plenty of time to use their parent\u2019s healthcare insurance until it is
\ntime for them to be financially eligible to provide their own healthcare. \u201cChildren
\ncan stay on their parents\u2019\u00a0health insurance<\/a>\u00a0plans
\nup to age 26. As of 2012, more than three million previously uninsured young
\npeople were added\u201d (Arnadeo). <\/p>\n

These
\ntwo examples that are beneficial to Americans that have a lack of healthcare
\ninsurance are two fantastic examples of why Americans that struggle to have
\ninsurance can have Obamacare as their insurance. It would be affordable, not
\njust for the parents, but the children can use this insurance to buy a window
\nto be financially eligible to provide their own healthcare insurance when
\nneeded. It seems as if Obamacare is nothing but well. There are reasons why
\nover half of the Americans in the United States decided to go against
\nObamacare, or the ACA. Before the ACA was invented, families could deduct 7.5 percent
\nof income, which was medical expenses. Obamacare increased the percentage by
\n2.5 percent when it was invented, which also means that the income increased to
\n10 percent, and led to a downfall of the ACA. \u201cStarting in 2013, families
\ncould\u00a0only deduct\u00a0 medical expenses<\/a>\u00a0that
\nexceed 10 percent\u00a0of income\u201d (Arnadeo). \u201cBefore, they could deduct
\nexpenses that exceeded 7.5 percent\u00a0of income\u201d (Arnadeo). Another downfall
\non the ACA or Obamacare is that the ACA would tax citizens that did not use or
\ncouldn\u2019t have insurance.\u00a0 \u201cThe ACA taxed<\/a>\u00a0those who didn\u2019t purchase
\ninsurance.\u00a0Many could avoid the tax through an ever-expanding list of exemptions<\/a>\u201d
\n(Arnadeo). <\/p>\n

Healthcare
\ninsurance and economics can possibly be two of the biggest effects politics
\nhave on America. Then again healthcare insurance and economics are not the only
\ntwo things that politics have effects and affairs on. Another topic that
\npolitics have affairs and effects on in America is war. War is commonly used
\nthrough politics in America. Although, North Atlantic democracies seem to have
\nsuch a difficult time accomplishing political ends through military forces. One
\nreason why war happens is because two different units or opponents seem to
\ndisagree or don\u2019t get along with their forces or powers. \u201cPolitical conflict often turns into war simply
\nbecause the opponents disagree as to their relative power\u201d (Bassford). \u201cThe
\nresort to naked force is the only way to determine the truth\u201d (Bassford).<\/p>\n

Kupert
\nSmith informs about how the North Atlantic uses force through countries that
\nAmerica has visited and have seemed to fail and then turn into a political
\noutcome. \u201cSince the end of
\nthe Cold War, the United States and its allies have used force in Iraq, Kuwait,
\nAfghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia, in each case enjoying a massive
\nmaterial advantage over the enemy\u201d (Smith). \u201cEvery time, however, the military
\nadvantage has failed to produce a decisive political outcome\u201d (Smith). War and
\npolitics have a relationship and go hand and hand. Christopher Bassford
\ndescribes war and the relationship between politics and war. \u201cWar is a social phenomenon. Its logic is
\nnot the logic of art, nor that of science or engineering, but rather the logic
\nof social transactions\u201d (Bassford). As being informed in the beginning of the
\nfirst page, politics is all about power and as being described in Bassford\u2019s
\narticle. \u201cThe two different terms we have used, policy and politics, both
\nconcern power\u201d (Bassford). <\/p>\n

Another example of war in politics is about war in
\npolitics after the horrifying incident of 9\/11. People in our society may not
\nthink that politics that involve war may not have made a big change of impact,
\nbut Tom Rockmore informs on how politics and war have changed since 9\/11 and
\nhow politics and war have become more intense. Although politics can be
\ncomprehended in all different types of forms, not forgetting that humans in
\nnature are being born into what politics are currently being socialized, in
\nwhich, in other words, humans in nature learn from politics. Rockmore quotes in
\nthe first page of his first paragraph by stating: \u201c\u2019Politics\u2019 can be understood
\nin different ways, including the fact that human beings are born into and
\ndetermined by the social context into which they are socialized, within which
\nthey learn to speak, whose ideas and ideals they take on, and so on\u201d (Rockmore
\n74). Since 9\/11, the American government, politics, and our military
\ninfinstructure, have played an important, huge role in war and have visited
\nmany countries including Afghanistan and Iraq. \u201cIn the U.S.,
\npolitical considerations have recently played an important role after 9\/11 in
\nauthorizing two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the GWT\u201d (Rockmore 74).\n<\/p>\n

In conclusion, politics have always been involved
\nor been a part of economics, war, and healthcare insurance. These three topics
\nhave been three of the biggest issues politics deal with daily and knowing a
\ngood chance that nothing is going to change. Most recently, politics have dealt
\nwith healthcare insurance more than war or economics because of Barack Obama
\nwas our former President of the United States and Obama himself invented the
\n\u201cObamacare Healthcare Plan\u201d, or which is also known as \u201cAffordable Care Act\u201d
\nbecause when Obama was in office, he felt as if it was necessary to invest in a
\nhealth insurance for Americans that have a lack of insurance to receive a
\nchance to provide health insurance for themselves so Americans can live without
\nknowing that Americans in society will never have to worry about finding health
\ninsurance. <\/p>\n

All three of these topics should have given great examples on why American citizens in society should pay attention to politics more and how politics have an effect for America whether it is on a positive or negative standpoint. Added to that, Americans in society that have complaints about the politics and economics that economics does not have to agree or play the same role as politics or in a political form and that economics is meant to influence the economy and politics is meant to influence through power using the government, elections, and political parties as their tool.<\/p>\n
