Please help with 1 GOVERNMENT QUESTION?

OK, well in 1963 Medicare did not exist yet, only Social Security. And, Social Security was never intended to cover all of the things that it does now (not to mention the fact that lifespans have been getting longer and longer since the '60s).

Medicare was created under Johnson's "Great Society" and has ratcheted up spending across the board. That is where all of this mandatory spending is coming from - Entitlement programs. The key is to wean the country off of these entitlement programs NOW. We need to tell our youngsters (21 years old and under) that there will be No Social Security or Medicare waiting for you because we don't want to go bankrupt. Everyone 21 and up should be "grandfathered" into the old system, with reduced benefits, or give them the option to simply withdraw from the old system entirely.

Also, Military spending was ratcheted up under President Reagan, where the deficit grew to new heights. Reagan famously said he wasn't worried about the deficit because it was big enough to take care of itself. Obviously, Military Spending has not stopped Domestic terrorism (Okla City) or Foreign Islamic Fundamentalists (Al Qaeda). Military spending continues to increase at a rapid pace, and that needs to stop. Hope that helps.

This isn't a free essay writing site -- "brief" or not. You need to be doing your own writing! You say you don't speak English very well -- getting us to do your work will NOT help! I've been working with foreign exchange students for over a decade and the one thing I know -- you need to practice yourself!

I'll help you understand the questions and give you a website where you can look up answers. It's at various levels, so if you don't understand one level, go lower. But I will NOT do this for you.

1. Do you think security (keeping us safe) should be a local, state or federal job?

2. Should picking up trash in your neighborhood be a local, state or federal job.

3. Do you think some jobs that one level of government does should be at a different level?

These questions are really very easy and logical, so you may not even need the website.

Help this question!! The US government issures a 1-year bond?

zero coupon means you receive no interest payments so principle appreciation is how your interest rate is calculated. Since it is only one year, you won't need a compound interest table, but the general formula still holds:

Future Value = Present Value (1 + interest rate)^(# of years)

Future value is $5000 since they will pay you that when the bond matures in a year. The number of years is 1. Now, since the "market rate" (the rate of risk free return) is 20%, this means the bond price has to be discounted from face value to give investors the 20% return they require. All zero coupon bonds sell originally for less than face value, but the exact number can be found by plugging the numbers into the formula:
$5000 = PV (1.2)^1
$5000/1.2 = $4166.66 -----> this is the market price the bond sells for. The answer can be checked easily. In THIS CASE, since the duration is only one year, the yield to maturity here is calculated by taking the difference between the issuing price of $4166.66 and the face value of $5000, which equals $833.34, and dividing by the issuing price, $4166.66. So $833.34/$4166.66 = 20%. This is also the current yield in this case.

If this price falls by 5% (which would be $4166.66 * .05 = $208.33, giving the bond a price of $4166.66 - 208.33 = $3958.33) the yield would increase, because it will appreciate in value more (by $5000 - $3958.33 = $1041.67) Yield to maturity would increase from 20% to $1041.67/$3958.33 = 26.32%. As you can see, bond prices and yields move in opposite directions. Remember to use the formula above (or work with a compound interest table) if the duration of the bond is longer than one year to find the answers to these kind of questions.
