Greetings! America is currently at war with between 0 and 134 countries. Constitutionally- required Declarations Of War may be passé, but our war machine limps along vigorously under endless “authorizations for use of military force”. However, war can only be a temporary measure for any society. It may sometimes be necessary but it always costs, and no society can bear the expense forever. Put aside the irreplaceable price in blood... what’s the cost in treasure of our current state of Endless War, what could we do with that treasure instead, and what can we do to turn things around? How much do we spend on guns and how much butter could it buy? The military budget itself was near $600 billion in 2015 and we’ve spent over $7.6 trillion on war since 2001, but that may be misleading.

The law also provided that the state political party chairpersons could provide the Secretary of State with a list of individuals whom they consider to be potential presidential nominees for their political party. The Secretary of State was then required to notify each candidate appearing on the lists who in turn was required to file an affidavit indicating his or her political party preference and willingness to have his or her name appear on the ballot. Individuals whose names did not appear on either the Secretary of State’s or a political party list could qualify as a candidate by filing nominating petitions.

Game Theory and Democracy! November 2013! ! Mr. 47% and the Seven Dwarfs! Summary! ! !When President Barack Obama took the Oath of Office in 2008, he had momentum. His campaign was smart, his message was widespread. Images of “hope” and “change” had swept the nation and his inauguration was an emotional and unforgettable experience not only for those present, but also for any American watching. But looking past the historical significance of the commencement of Obama’s Presidency, he was faced with the monumental challenge of picking the country out of !the economic hole created during the Bush Administration.! !This aforementioned whole was so deep and insurmountable that come the end of Obama’s first term, the country was far from back on track. This meant that the 2012 Presidential election was relatively open in comparison to other races with incumbents. In a year which should have lead to a fierce, unpredictable battle, the Republican Party chose to run an ill-conceived race. Where they should have moved towards the center, they drew themselves farther to the right. When they should have championed their leading man, they consistently introduced weak supporting actors—detracting !attention from the main character (Mitt Romney) and tattering his image as a whole.! !In order to win an election in a two-party race, candidates should draw themselves towards the middle of the political spectrum in order to maximize their chances of winning 50% or more of the votes.
