Question#1

While the different approaches to dealing with the objective problems of the deficit and national healthcare may be highly subjective depending on one’s political point of view, the objective fact remains that these issues are causing internal strife, not only within the country, but in Washington as well.

Even among parties that claim to have similar points of view, these problems are such dividing issues that the proposed solutions end up being highly subjective as well.

For example, looking at the deficit objectively, the overwhelming amount of money owed decreases economic stability both nationally and abroad. However, the proposed solutions range from person to person, and are therefore subjective. Some want to raise taxes, while other want to raise them.

While objective problems like the need for a national healthcare plan can be agreed upon, in the sense that there is a definite need for a concrete plan for the country, due to the large groups of uninsured people and the fact that healthcare costs are a leading factor in causing debt, the ways to solve the problem range from individual to individual, and are therefore subjective.
