Based on the constraints you've provided, the goals that apply in this situation would depend on your specific priorities and requirements. Here are the implications of each goal listed:
1. **I cannot raise taxes.** - This would limit your ability to generate additional revenue.
2. **I must cut Social Security by 20 percent.** - This would mean a reduction in benefits for Social Security recipients, impacting many individuals.
3. **I can increase the deficit by 10 percent.** - This might provide some leeway to fund programs or maintain spending without immediate cuts, but it does increase long-term financial obligations.
4. **I must shrink the budget deficit.** - This would require finding ways to reduce spending or increase revenue without raising taxes.
5. **I cannot cut Medicare spending.** - This would restrict options for reducing budget outlays in a significant area of healthcare.
6. **I am required to increase military spending by 20 percent.** - This would necessitate finding funding sources or cutting other areas of the budget to accommodate this increase.
In conclusion, your goals in this situation would likely include:
- I must shrink the budget deficit.
- I must cut Social Security by 20 percent.
- I cannot cut Medicare spending. (This remains a restriction.)
- I am required to increase military spending by 20 percent.
You would need to balance these competing demands carefully, considering the implications on social welfare and overall fiscal responsibility.
