Here is the toumlin for his speech:
Claim: America's economy will be fixed by helping out the middle and lower classes, fixing the dependency on foreign oil, and the other needs that president-elect Barack Obama sees.
Grounds: The economy in America is down and people are losing their jobs. Also America just had an election and president-elect Barack Obama has new ideas to relieve our country.
Warrants: CReating jobs for the middle class and the unemployed will jump-start the economy. With the invention of new automobiles that less of a dependency on foreign oil will save our country from spending money. If we can fix problems with clean energy, health care, education, and tax breaks for the poor we can get out of our economic crisis.
Backing: This is what he and his advisors have come up with as to how to solve our economic crisis and other related issues.
Qualifier: These ideas would all work, unless Congress does not allow Obama to go through with some of his plans; and even if they go through they are not tested and have no proof as to their reliability.
Reservation: The new ways to make cars could end up costing us even more to fuel than the ones today do; or if everyone get jobs then the value of the dollar will go down because of inflation.
Here is the toumlin of my speech that I gave:
Claim: The economic crisis in America can be fixed by making a variety of jobs avaliable to the jobless.
Grounds: The economy in America is down and people are losing their jobs. Banks are failing and people are falling into a panic.
Warrants: The provision of jobs will bring money into the economy, eventually solving the economic crisis. The provision of a variety of jobs will keep one product fro being over produced, thus leading to the loss of money.
Backing: During the Great Depression Franklin Roosevelt made a number of new jobs avaliable for the people who didnt have any. He also provided a variety of jobs so that there was no money lost. From these actions America moved out of the Great Depression.
Qualifier: If the jobless do not want to work and do not accept the jobs then the economy will not get better.
Reservation: If the economy goes back up on it's own, like it normally does, then we will have nothing to worry about.
