Any taxes and spending must be done by Congress. The President has no control over taxes and spending. Social Security and Medicare will not be touched by the automatic spending cuts.
And since any spending bills must originate in the Republican controlled House of Representatives, you can blame Republicans.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
