Many states align public health initiatives to the national Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators. California does not directly participate in Healthy People unless required for reporting but instead has a similar program called Let’s Get Healthy California.

Select one Let’s Get Healthy California goal and indicator to explore.

Evaluate whether the goal was met based on the information in the California Health and Human Services open data portal.

Determine if there is evidence of alignment to the Let’s Get Healthy California goals in your community. Evidence might include local programs and funding.

Explain the evidence by providing links, a description, and summary of the program(s).

balanced federal budgets 2

by

Thorough answer in APA formatting with lots of citations and detailed info regarding the material and resources provided.

A budget is a plan. It is a policy statement. It is a device for communication. It is an expenditure guidebook. How a government organization spends its money says a great deal about its mission and policy preferences. It explains the resources it will require to provide specific public services and addresses strategic priorities. Developments in budgeting theory, including performance budgeting, program planning budgeting, and zero-based budgeting have had an impact on the evaluation of government budgets. These results-oriented systems have improved the way budgets are developed and presented. Budgets are generally thought of as occurring in a one-year period called the fiscal year. In this context it will be referred to interchangeably as the fiscal year or budgetary year. The budget is the standard for comparing actual spending with planned spending. Public managers at the local and state levels must try to keep their spending within budget during the budgetary period; as a result, they face many challenges in meeting budget goals during economic downturns. The federal government, on the other hand, does not need to balance the budget from year to year, which has led to large federal deficits.

This week, you consider the repercussions of a federal deficit and a balanced federal budget. You also evaluate a budget using selected criteria.

Discussion: Balanced Federal Budgets

Economists differ in their ideas about using government spending to stimulate the economy. Some economists follow British political-economist John Maynard Keynes in advocating increased government expenditure to stimulate the economy when it is in recession. In their view, the federal deficit will decline when the economy improves. Others favor allowing market forces to restore equilibrium when the economy is in recession. They believe that the deficit stifles economic growth and prosperity.

You can learn the policy preferences of a city, county, state, other government agency by analyzing its budget. The budget is a plan for allocating the resources required to provide specific services and address strategic priorities.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources and focus on the implications of the federal deficit on a public organization. Then, select a position either for or against a balanced federal budget. Consider whether the gap needs to be closed or whether there are legitimate reasons for borrowing.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post a description of your position on a balanced national budget. Justify your position for or against a balanced national budget by explaining the gains and losses associated with your position.

Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

In the conclusion (pp. 441-446) of Reimer et al, The Challenge of Politics: An Introduction to Political Science, the authors pose four key questions. In question one, they ask if we can describe and defend a view of the good political life. From our perspective as a liberal democracy, what political values do we hold dear? What do the three other forms of government discussed in the book embrace, and how do you compare and contrast these forms of government to our own? What do you see as the pluses and minuses of liberal democracy in comparison to other alternatives?

final discussion post what did you learn

by

Part1: Please answer the question in a min of 200 words. Please see the attached document of 3 different things I learned.

  • Specify the top three concepts or skills you learned in this course that you believe will be the most useful to you in your present or future professional career or education. Provide at least one specific example to support your response.

Part 2: Please comment on the student post below in a min of 100 words. answer the post by giving your opinion by agreeing or disagreeing.

I’ve learned a lot during this course.Mainly conglomerate strategies and how to diversify products given the proper environment settings. The products not being relatively related may be a niche for an untapped market. Understanding the diversification of products and how they can be apart of a complete organization portfolio. Concentric strategies also have their own place in certain markets where barriers to entry may be difficult. Understanding how a merger or alliance can break those barriers is a great topic discussed in the course. Deciding if a merger, alliance, acquisition, or partnership will work best for an organization are crucial to success and ownership. Also, understanding success in one market doesn’t necessarily mean you will have success in another. Understanding those obstacles that may cause issues or barriers that may force an organization to become more technical or efficient are important factors when deciding to enter a market with a known successful product. This knowledge establishes longevity and ultimately will determine success.

As I embark on personal business endeavors I am seeking to make a merger with a similar organization to minimize barriers and take advantage of the plentiful resources being offered by other organizations. I will need to access how to minimize risk, extend resources, and establish rapport with those amongst the industry currently. Research and development will go a long way in determining the best fit for my own organization and a particular merger candidate.

Leadership Skill-Building Exercises

As you build your leader ship career in either a phone or informal leader ship position, update your journal from time to time perhaps once a quarter review what experience you have had that contribute to your development as a leader.

Submit a written report that covers both the portfolio building leadership skill- building exercises. The report should also incorporate your findings and conclusions from the self- assessment quizzes in this module, and from personal reflection. The exercise must conform to the requirements of APA formatting, to include cover page (running head, page number, title, author, university), a table of contents, APA-level headings and subheadings, proper in-text citations, and a reference section at the end. 1000- words.

Proper writing style, to include APA, is vitally important at this level. I believe that some could find the writing tool Grammarly to be very advantageous. Most of you had an issue in your reference page and this is the one time I will give you a freebee: The title of a text-book should read like a sentence; the first letter of each word should not be capitalized
