She first talked about the politics of defense spending—which plays a lot into how it works for the people. 600 billion dollars goes into US defense spending. Much of the problem lies in the military contacts—their argument is that if even 50 million dollars was cut countless jobs would be lost. Roxana explained to us though that sometimes these contracts are with companies or for products that are wasteful. Tiron also explained how difficult it is to turn down a project that is in the name of national security.…
For administrators in the criminal justice system that refuse to adapt to the open system of relying on help from outside agencies and the public, this condition of not meeting goals because of budget cuts will continue to worsen. However, those that learn to adapt and respond well from help will have a much brighter future. For example, when budget cuts arise, the first programs to receive large cuts are crime prevention programs so crime fighting programs will not have to be cut (Cronkhite, 2013). A more productive decision would be to use “crime prevention approaches as leverage in making the best use of personnel” because just a small crime prevention staff could prevent acts that would cost much more (Cronkhite, 2013, p. 204).…

The rule of Texas Public Accountancy Administration (TPAA) prohibits Certified Public Accountants (CPA) in Texas from advertising their tax services to the person whose name is on the IRS’s potential audit list within 30 days following the date of publication. This case raises a question whether the TPAA’s policy of banning CPA’s solicitation to potential customers violates the right of free speech under the First Amendment. We hold the opinion that the policy is unconstitutional in serving the TPAA’s substantial interest, and we reserves the plaintiff’s right of commercial speech in some degree. In February 2015, after finding many politicians lost their votes in the 2014 election cycle due to be the targeted audits of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a bi-partisan Congressional committee formed the National Audit Identity Law (NAIL).…
The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs is “to fulfill President Lincoln 's promise "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan" by serving and honoring the men and women who are America 's veterans” (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2016). This mission statement was written vaguely enough to be comprehensive of the changing needs of our veterans. A more precise definition may not have benefited the organization as the services we provide encompass a wide array of areas. A more precise definition may also have limited the organization into focusing on a strategy that did not plan for or prepare for our veterans quickly changing healthcare needs. However, Hader (2006) reports that within…
