Claim: Funds for federal grants would be better used because it would support families in need and help save for their children's future.

Supporting Reason: Families with low incomes worry about what is going to happen in the near future.

Supporting Evidence: When states provide direct financial assistance to families struggling to make ends meet, they can improve children’s outcomes while also providing parents with the cash they need to afford school supplies.

Supporting Evidence: Redirecting the funds back towards cash assistance can improve academic, health, and economic outcomes for children in families in poverty, research shows.

Counterclaim: Having more funds for defense spending is good just in case we go into war and we need to buy and make our weapons.

Rebuttal: We are exceed the Cold War average in real-dollar terms, and exceed the budgets of China by 3-to-1 and of Russia by more than 10-to-1. People who are satisfied with the government, will fight for our government.
