Latin America DA
One of the best parts of evidence debate for me is writing new negative disadvantages. I think it’s a lot of fun to go to tournaments with a plethora of new disadvantages to use during rounds. Especially when you have little to no case arguments against new affirmatives you have yet to research.
Here is one disadvantage from the NDCA evidence set. Following Marse’s advice from the Cal Baptist NFA-LD camp a few months ago I made sure to start of the 1NC shell with a introduction/thesis – here it is:
Introduction/Thesis:
Their plan does not happen in a vacuum. The USFG only has so much funding to send abroad. This disadvantage argues that because of current budget climate in Congress funding is in a zero-sum atmosphere – new funding must balance by cutting existing funding. The most likely place this funding will be cut is towards Latin America – and with devastating consequences.
Good luck at PSCFA for all those competing – only 1 person is registered right now but I expect a lot more by the deadline on Tuesday. I only have the 1NC done right now so you’ll probably want to cut some answers for your aff against this DA. The hardest part to prove is the tradeoff – attack it there!
