Please Hurry!!!

Some government programs are paid for through discretionary funding. The largest is the military at over 50% of discretionary funding. Three smaller areas of funding are health care, transportation, and education. If you could increase the money our government spends in only one of these areas which would it be? In a paragraph of not less than five sentences, discuss why additional funding in the area you've chosen is important.

If I had the power to increase government spending in one of those areas, I would choose education. Education has been shown by studies to assist in boosting the economic and social sectors. Increasing funding for education could allow for students to have access to better trained teachers, computers and technology/programs, libraries and textbooks, smaller class sizes, better school environments, as well as classroom supplies. Many inequalities exist between states. These inequalities can be harmful to societies in the area and affect the job industry and crime rates for the students who are future adults.
