  2. I don't think it is much of a normal democracy today as it used to be. I think it is more of a social democracy. Right now we are spending billions of dollars for not really much of a reason. Right now our economy is bad.

  6. It's a social democracy, it used to be a normal democracy.
    Again were spending billions of dollars to help out for the war and stuff.
    You watch the news and you see that there are car dealerships that are running out of money cause the economy is so bad. That was just an example.

  10. I think that the US still follows the idea of Manifest Destiny by invading Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't think they are gaining territory but are trying to get those countries to share our ideas of democracy.

  25. They are doing it for power the way they do it is to overprice certian items
    such as cars,homes,food,electronics,ETC

  26. To get more money out to the people,and more jobs

  27. The war in Iraq, and everytime we buy products from other countries we expand our democracy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. During democracy today people vote for presidents. Another way America is spreading democracy is fighting over in Iraq. The government keeps sending money over to Iraq for the people fighting for our country. The manifest destanywas a heavily influenced American policy in 1800.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think if they send the Iraq soldiers back home to there families because they have not seen them in a long time and they deserve to come home. young men have been killed for fighting for this country and they deserve a break!

  30. I agree with myself, we are spending to much money on dumb things.
    I don't get why we cant just print out money by the billions and get it over with. I mean, you have to go through like 1000 steps to make the thing legal. It SHOULD be legal as soon as it comes out of the printer thing.

  36. Yves, how exactly would we get more allies? From allowing more illegal people into the U.S? The only reason why we are becoming friends with other countries is because we are letting their citizens into the U.S, or we gain respect from them. However, if we do gain more allies they would support us in many present wars and future wars.
