A letter to America 12/6

My reaction to this piece was not surprised. It was about an older woman who grew up around a "fun" and exciting America. Everything about the old America was ok, but today the author describes how America is "Gutting the Constitution". This country is getting itself into wars, specifically with the middle east, and is proving itself to be the bad guys. The country is also destroying its own economy, and is defiantly not as strong as it used to be.

"Keep spending at this rate and you won't be able to afford any military adventures" This quote talks about how bad our economy is, and it hints at how we spend our money (towards war).

The paper could be ineffective because it doesn't really have sources to back up the information. It simply states information that could not be entirely true. It also doesn't give the full story of why our country may be spending this money and why we are deciding to go into war.
