Pros And Cons Of The Iran Deal

Improved Essays
Although there are many critics that oppose President Obama’s Iran Deal, I personally support it. The deal offers a just compromise to both the United States and Iran by obstructing “Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from crippling economic sanctions” (The Week). Some disputants of the deal claim that Iran could still easily get their hands on nuclear weapons, but Aaron Stein, a nuclear nonproliferation expert, says that “the likelihood of [Iran] getting caught [if they ‘cheat’] is near 100 percent” (The Week).

    The Philadelphia Convention of 1787 was thought to have the goal of revising the Articles of Confederation, which had outlined the newly formed county’s government since the revolution. However, the first thing the representatives voted on as they entered Independence Hall was a compromise of secrecy, to let no word of their work or discussions leave the building. This decision was made in order to let the representatives preform at their best without the fear of public opinion, as well as to allow them time to totally reconstruct the government. This secrecy was condemned by some such as Patrick Henry of Virginia, who was quoted in “Are We to be a Nation” as saying “I smell a rat”. Because of this small compromise to secrecy, some of the…

    The Congressional Budget Office has yet to release its evaluation of the bill Cassidy co-authored with Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Its reviews of earlier GOP bills in the House and Senate found that at least 22 million fewer people would have coverage by 2026, compared to current law. It's difficult to say exactly what the coverage losses would be under the Graham-Cassidy bill, experts say. That's largely because it would give a lot of control over health care to the states, while at the same time curtailing federal funding.…

    The earliest American foreign policy successes formulated through the consistent turmoil that engrossed Europe. The historian Samuel Flagg Bemis even coined the phrase “Europe’s distresses led to America’s earliest diplomatic successes.” From the nation’s bloody revolution, to major expansions across the North American continent, major victories for the United States was an outcome of war torn European nations unable to preserve their power in the west and cunning American legislators that parted from traditional diplomacy. Americans fought an uphill battle for respect and global recognition starting with the American Revolution. Patriots kept the British at bay in the early phases of the war but could not sustain under continued offense…

    Since March of 2010, the American people have had to suffer under the incredible economic burden of the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare. This legislation, passed by totally partisan votes in the House and Senate and signed into law by the most divisive and partisan President in American history, has tragically but predictably resulted in runaway costs, websites that don’t work, greater rationing of care, higher premiums, less competition and fewer choices. Obamacare has raised the economic uncertainty of every single person residing in this country. As it appears Obamacare is certain to collapse of its own weight, the damage done by the Democrats and President Obama, and abetted by the Supreme Court, will be difficult to repair unless the next…

    The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, “Obamacare”, affects the healthcare industry and the way America delivers healthcare. The act focuses on providing more Americans with affordable, quality health insurance through reforms, taxes, regulations, and exchanges. The benefits are that more Americans have health insurance, it is more affordable to have, people with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied coverage, regulates the health insurance industry, reduces health care spending, and there are no set limits on the amount of money insurance companies can spend on an individual. The unfortunate cons to the PPACA is many people have to pay higher premiums, taxes are rising due to the ACA, you can be fined for not having health insurance, and some employers are cutting employees hours to avoid covering them.…
