Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by spending hundreds of billions of

00:07

dollars it's that thing we decided to never be able

00:10

to do the second we utter the words A career

00:13

in education might be nice lincoln And check out the

00:17

graph right there Spend hundreds of billions and here's our

00:21

question Which of the following was developed by policymakers to

00:24

help facilitate the goals behind the two thousand three influx

00:27

in military spending And here a potential answers influx in

00:31

military school in the grammar Get up All right Well

00:35

you know that guy in school who everybody's afraid of

00:38

he's got some boundary issues and muscle mass that defies

00:40

the laws of puberty You ever wonder how he got

00:43

that way Usually it's Some combination of genetics hard work

00:47

and the ability to chug large quantities of raw eggs

00:50

and maybe steroids Yeah That's How he got his guns

00:53

Well if the world were a high school the american

00:55

military would be this guy The thing is that real

00:58

guns cost money And no other country in the world

01:00

spends nearly as much on their military as the united

01:03

States anyhoo today's question utilizes a graph before we come

01:07

to any conclusions we need to figure out why the

01:09

american military got so pumped up in two thousand three

01:12

Well the terrorist attacks of two thousand one lead to

01:14

american military intervention in iraq and afghanistan with two new

01:18

wars and the threat of terrorism on the way mama

01:20

military needed two things a good night's rest and a

01:23

steady paycheck so we need to decide which of the

01:26

four policies share the same goals Is the war on

01:28

terror no first let's take a look att tthe e

01:31

se a kid is referring to the policy called don't

01:34

ask don't tell which prevented gay and lesbian americans from

01:37

serving openly gaily in the military It basically invited gay

01:41

americans teo be all you can be just a not

01:44

who you are President obama repealed it in two thousand

01:47

eleven sending a message that who you love doesn't affect

01:50

your ability Teo shoot a gun allowing soldiers to be

01:54

both out and proud americans and you guessed it just

01:57

had nothing to do with the two thousand three increase

01:59

in milk very spending How about the not quite our

02:03

second option refers to the stagnation in middle class wages

02:06

Well this is a fancy way of saying the american

02:08

middle class was stuck in a rut It happens in

02:11

a shifting economy from time to time but this cause

02:13

had no effect on military spending Next up for examination

02:17

D policy d is talking about his nafta or if

02:21

we want to use its full names to the north

02:22

american free trade agreement If you refer to your text

02:25

books you'll see that nafta was drawn up in nineteen

02:28

ninety for nearly a decade before the pattern in the

02:30

question so let's a defer to the next choice After

02:34

the terrorist attacks of september eleventh americans were on high

02:37

alert President bush and other leaders were determined to not

02:40

only never forget but also to never let another attack

02:44

happen again One of the most controversial actions taken was

02:47

the introduction of the patriot act a piece of legislation

02:50

granting the federal government the power to monitor your phone

02:53

records and internet messages Well some thought that it was

02:56

a necessary safeguard Others thought the government was becoming you

03:00

know a big old snoop dog Was this in response

03:03

To the war on terror Well let's just say if

03:05

it wasn't then dick cheney was an expert marksman It

03:08

wasn't he he actually shot a friend in the face

03:11

All right go ahead and circle ceased And remember kids

03:14

always try to be a better friend and dick cheney

03:17

sorry way like you just don't think you're a very 00:03:19.85 --> [endTime] good shot
