The rest of your paragraph is good.

Thanks ms. Sue you have any more ideas on what to do, i try help Mohammad i not know how to make 250 words. You please edit his paragraph it need to have no mistake if you do i appreciate thanks

Answer 3

As I've told Mohammad, please don't worry about English mistakes. His writing is clearly understood.

Other ways to pay off the government debt:

Raise taxes on the middle class and the rich.
Cut expenses in addition to cutting transportation. What other ways can you think of?
How about getting rid of some government employees?

Answer 4

To cut expenses that mean to not spend on consumer goods? You please explain to me what it mean getting rid of government employees. That mean they lose their job so they not get money right. Well I also think cutting back on services like recreation and sports, but so many love sports how I stop this?

Answer 5

When a family or a government is in debt, everyone must sacrifice a little. I don't think the Canadian government spends any money on sports, so cutting sports would not help the debt.

When the government cuts expenses, it doesn't pay as much for social programs like pensions and medical care. Getting rid of some government employees means they lose their jobs. Maybe Canada could get rid of its military forces.

Answer 6

I also Cut spending on for recreational purposes? How do i do this? Recreational purposes mean going to movies and stuff.

Answer 7

The government doesn't go to movies.

Your question asks how the Canadian government can cut expenses and pay its debt.

Yes. Public facilities like parks, libraries, and schools can be cut.
