Losses and Wins of the Budget Deal

1On Tuesday in Washington, the Senate Murray- Ryan budget plan passed the Vote. The slender 77 page will in fact affect million of Americans. It will affect fees, programs and the whole economy in the many years to come.

The winners will be: Of course The Pentagon as smiles were strewn about.  Thanks to Murray budget plan the hatched has been down sized tremendously. Deal initiates billions in cuts so that the military desriction will go up billions in the next year. After years spend negotiating, spending temporary bills this two year deal allows admirals and generals to plan ahead working side by side.

As the deal passes Senate Vote, the federal employees are affected.  As it cuts down the chances of a shutdown for january 2014. A tech bill would allow those married with kids to obtain health benefits plus one.The current law only allows for single or family plans.

This will help those who are funded for the meals on wheels program.  The way the numbers will play out is still unknown. This will allow for two years of help to determine the next moves and the ability to build more help and action. The TSA (also known as The Transportation Security Administration) also win in this situation as they get increased security fees. Giving more reliable funding at this point.  American Reputation would get salvaged as for 3 years the government has had fiscal to fiscal crises. This sends out the message that even a divided government can get together and work together for a better future.

The Losers would be undortunately the millitary as this deal gives them less retirement if you’re less than 62. Level under inflation is where the cost of living would end up.

1New Federal Jobs would be affected meaning if you start your new job after January 1st then your pay would be cut by 1.3%. It would mean a mandatory contribution to the pension fund. The unemployed would as well be affected because as time is ticking the bill does nothing to help those on unemployment benefit Expiring this month for 1.3 million Americans.
This will affect the air travels as you will be responsible to pay $5.60 for a one way ticket. As this will boost the TSA Security and thus your safety. The airlines used to pay this fee but companies are already admitting that the personell travelling will have to cover this fee.

Another loss will be for the gas and oil company. They are approximated to loss $50 million for research program or backdoor in which they used to pay to get federal funding.

Overall, this will affect the U.S in the long run in medical and social security. They may both be sitting silence at the moment but in the decades to come they will become a huge threat financially to the economy and the federal budget.  This bill is for current changes and does not address the coming years and how many problems may occur as a result.
