The goal of our bill is to insure the safety of our country and our troops by improving our nation’s weaponry and sending less troops behind the front line. This bill will significantly reduce the amount of deaths in our armed forces and improve our weaponry and technology in our military. We hope to put money into military research to improve our weaponry. This in effect, will strengthen our national defense and put fewer troops in danger. Safety in our country is the most important thing there is. This will definitely keep our country safe from either terrorists or other nations themselves. We plan to put our research into improving our computers, Harrier Jump Jets, rail guns, and other weapons. We will at first increase our military budget by raising the taxes. We will put the money into research and, in time we will have the strongest military in the world.
 * Purpose: **


 * Eligibility: ** U.S. taxpayers would be affected and everyone in our armed forces.

The first step in our bill for it to work is to raise income taxes for U.S. taxpayers. At first they won’t be happy, but eventually once the bill runs its course they will be happy. All the other parts of our U.S. budget will remain the same. Then, our president will appoint a qualified person to run this research company. This person will then appoint everyone below his rank if they are scientists or managers. They will still get all their regular benefits. The number employed will increase and so will their salaries. Factories will be built all over the U.S. but mainly in the Colorado/Nevada territory because it is very rocky. Research facilities will open their doors and we will let them do their thing. These facilities will research all kinds of weaponry except nuclear weapons. In time, our weaponry will more powerful than any nation in the world, and we will fear no one. We hope for our president, our nation’s military commander, and other military leaders to enforce our bill. Our bill will be in effect indefinitely depending on how long the process takes and how much our armed forces improve. If this bill passes, we promise you our nation will succeed and our military will be capable of taking on any enemy.
 * Terms and Benefits: **

The total cost of H.B. 69 will be roughly about $2,587, 946,000. In 2011, the U.S. spent 720 billion dollars on our military. Seventy-billion dollars went to research. We plan to increase that number by 2.5 billion. All other parts of the military budget will remain the same. In these 2.5 billion dollars, there will be ten different new high-tech research facilities opened. Each facility costs approximately 200 million, where ten facilities will operate all over the U.S. The total costs of computers in these facilities will be about 325 million. The average cost of a regular super military computer is 1.3 million. Bullets will add up to a cost of 96 million for protection and research. Bomb detectors will be in these facilities for research and protection; these will cost about 150 million dollars total. There will be a total of 150 head scientists who will get paid 60,000(all per year) dollars each and their assistants will get paid 38,000 dollars each. The soldiers guarding the place will receive regular soldier salary. All employees will receive military benefits. The electricity bills, thermal bills, and backup generator costs will reach a total of 228,000 dollars a year. We plan to raise taxes half of a percent. This will not only cover our costs, but it will also give us extra money for other research ideas.
