In addition, just over $41 billion was removed from 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. The cuts in military spending will affect a wide variety of citizenry. Specifically, military personnel will be affected with reduced budgets across the board. This will result in a reduced readiness of the military to protect the United States, in the short-term and the long-term. This reduction in spending will also negatively affect civilian contractors and other companies that provide products and services to the military. This will result in lost revenues and decreased profitability for these organizations. A secondary effect of this could result in lost jobs and reduced tax revenues for the city, state and national governments, as well as reduced revenues for other businesses in the community, if these organizations implement worker layoffs.
Social Security cuts will negatively affect the growing population of Baby Boomers and those already receiving Social Security benefits. However, this underfunded program has significant problems that must be addressed directly. Simply allowing it to continue on the path ti's on is not acceptable. As such, the reductions in the Social Security budget will directly mean a reduction in administration support staff as well as reduced benefits for those currently in the program, in the short-term. Indirectly, there will be short-term effects that affect surrounding businesses.
Medicare and non-Medicare health spending were both cut by ten percent. This reduction will affect senior citizens currently receiving Medicare benefits, as well as lower income families that receive benefits under the non-Medicare program, such as Medicaid and state children's health insurance programs. Will likely result in long-term higher operating costs for physicians and medical facilities as more services aren't reimbursed by patients who can't afford to pay for their medical services. This will result in higher prices for medical services, to make up for this lost profitability. This will affect both insurance companies and patients directly. Consumers will not only directly experience higher medical costs, but also higher insurance rates.
Lastly, a large part of the balancing of the budget was accomplished through a reduction in the 2001...
The final step in decrease law enforcement budgets was the cut of 20% federal prison system. As of right now, prisons take up millions of dollars to house drug offenders and other non-violent criminals. These funds are needed elsewhere, and so they must be taken from keeping up the building and regulation of so many unnecessary prisons in the United States. In terms of protecting consumers much needed to be

Hlebowitsh, Daniel Tanner and William G. Wraga, 2000 Statement of Generative Theme.
