4 of 3 Obama hosts student, teacher from million-dollar humans of N.Y. campaign
I thought it was cool that I found this post because humans of New York is an instagram account that I have looked at before and there has been a lot of posts recently about this school they've helped in Brownsville. After the first post about he student Vidal people have reached out and raised money for Mott Hall Bridges Academy. The money will go to support summer programs and start a scholarship fund for the graduates of the school.

3 of 3 Illinois considering recreational marijuana bills-And they could help lower racial disparity in pot arrests
Adults would be able to use recreational amounts of marijuana without fear of jail. These two bills are the first in the state aimed at reducing marijuana related penalties and charges. Although the charges from marijuana would go down, they would not be acquiring the same high revenue tax from legalization like Colorado did. It would solve the issue of the unproportional arrests of black and Latinos versus whites.

2 of 3 Obama was breaking barriers 25 years ago today
Obama has been the first black president of the Harvard Law Review and the United States as well. He was 28 when he became the first black person elected for the position of president of the review. In his 1990 interview he stated that he thought his election was a step in the right direction but also wanted to reassure that everything still wasnt ok for blacks. I think that goes right along with what people can say about him being the first black man in the oval office.

1 of 3 U.S. and Europe working to end Ukraine fighting
Ukraine is fighting with Russia. The U.S. is trying to decide whether to send arms to the Ukraine government. The U.S. has sent arms to allies in similar situations but this time the circumstances are complicated. Obama has considered sending defensive systems that would help to block the attacks.

3 of 2 Budget forcast sees end to steep declines in federal deficit
The federal budget deficit will continue to decline over the next year but despite Americas economy being on the ups, the deficit will rise again in 2017 because of an aging population. Now lawmakers face the problem about what to do about increased Medicare and social security spending that reflects the aging population but not the good economy. The forecast might get Obama to change his policy proposals. I was wondering how they actually estimate these budgets?
