2. What is a budget? According to the report, how will President Barack Obama's proposed budget affect particular groups of Americans?

*Losers include upper income seniors who will pay more for prescription drugs; farmers with sales over $500,000 who will lose their subsidies; households making over $250,000 who will get a tax increase. One person with taxable income of $200,000 will pay, on average, $6,000 more. A family of four with a $500,000 income will see their taxes go up, on average, $11,300. Also hitting the upper brackets, a tax increase on capital gains and limits on deductions, including mortgage interest and charitable contributions.Winners: middle and lower class taxpayers and the poor. According to the Office of Management and Budget, on average, a family of four making $76,000 would see their taxes lowered by $800. The same family making $35,000 would see taxes reduced by $1,200.

3. Do you agree with any of these budget provisions? If so, which ones and why? If not, why not?

7. What lessons, if any, do you think that other cities might learn from the situation in Fargo? Has your city or state been hit hard by the U.S. recession? If so, how? If not, why not?

2. What is a budget? According to the report, how will President Barack Obama's proposed budget affect particular groups of Americans?
The budget is an overall tally of the government's spending and saving.

3. Do you agree with any of these budget provisions? If so, which ones and why? If not, why not?
Yes, the one about with an income of 500,000 taxes going up because Obama always said if you make that or more expect your taxes to go up, and I don't see why not, because if you're making that much at a time like this, you are living just fine. I really don't agree with Seniors having to pay more for their perscription drugs.

7. What lessons, if any, do you think that other cities might learn from the situation in Fargo? Has your city or state been hit hard by the U.S. recession? If so, how? If not, why not?

8. What is a spice? How are spices usually used?

Cumin is a very tasty sort of seed. It's thought to ward off prostrate cancer, help with indigestion and asthma as well, When it comes to the star of the spice world, that title may belong to turmeric. It's got that golden, yellow color, so distinctive. It is thought to boost brain power by warding of those plaques that can sometimes cause Alzheimer's, They take these chili peppers, put them into a body cream and use the active ingredient, known as capsaicin, to help reduce arthritis, One of the benefits of ginger: it can help reduce motion sickness.
