 * Troops Removal Act**

====Purpose: The goals of the bill are to decrease the number of troops, and to cut military spending. This bill could help get our country out of debt with China and other countries. It could also help us decrease the number of fatalities in our military. Over seven hundred soldiers die per year; if we could decrease this number, it would have a large impact on our security. We are going to get some of our troops back home, cut military spending, and make our military smaller. The men who are decommissioned will get special perks from businesses to help them get a job, and get back to real life, when they return home. Each year, we will decrease the military by 5,000 troops, so there will be job openings for the ones that return home. These are the goals of our proposed bill. ====

Terms and Benefits:
====1) Soldiers must have served at least five years in the armed forces to qualify for this bill. Any branch of the military can be picked from. Everyone's name is in a ballot every year and the 5,000 names will be picked that way.====

2) 5,000 troops per year will be accepted into the program.
====3) 5,000 troops are chosen, but can request to stay in the Armed Forces and have a replacement if they choose. Eventually after 5 people pass on a position to retire from the Army, and get back to normal life, the sixth person will have to by law leave.==== ====4) The bill will still be in effect until the United States’ debt is significantly decreased and the men in the Army is at a safe minimum to still have a strong army. The debt needs to be at least halfway payed off before this bill will not be in effect.====

6) This will be paid for in taxes partly, but mostly in the money we save by needing fewer supplies because we have fewer soldiers to supply.
====7) A rental car company will provide one-way transportation to wherever the veteran wishes within this country’s limits. Select flights will be available to Hawaii if need be. No international transportation will be given by the government.==== ====8) Debt will decrease because of this bill, and we will have more American jobs so we have to depend less on foreign countries for goods. Our economy will go up and it will decrease our debt in that way as well.==== ====9) The government will enforce the bill, and see that it gets done, along with the U.S. Armed Forces. They will partner together to enforce the ballot and make sure that the chosen troop's response to either stay or go is received.==== ====10) Each month, Generals will meet together to decide where troops need to be sent, and where troops need to be pulled, and if they require less troops be pulled. They will report this to the Secretary of Defense who will advise the President of it and a decision will be made.====
