  1. Review of Negative Arguments Friday, 7/1

  2. Name That Argument – DA’s • Negative, reading the debt ceiling DA: • We will successfully raise the debt ceiling now • Answer: Uniqueness • Affirmative, answering the spending DA: • Spending more money does not kill the economy • Answer: No internal link (internal link takeout) • Negative, reading the spending DA: • Economic collapse causes nuclear war • Answer: Impact • Affirmative, answering the debt ceiling DA: • The plan is popular in Congress • Answer: Link turn

  3. Name That Argument – DA’s • DA that says that the US is cooperating with other countries on space initiatives now. The plan destroys that cooperation, because it takes a unilateral approach. This triggers space wars with Russia and China. • What is the uniqueness? • Answer: The US is cooperating with other countries now • What is the link? • Answer: The plan uses a unilateral approach, which destroys cooperation • What is the internal link? • Lack of cooperation triggers space wars • What is the impact? • Space wars with Russia and China • Affirmative answers – categorize them • Lack of cooperation does not cause space war • No internal link • The plan does not hurt cooperation with other countries • No link • The US is currently engaged in a number of space initiatives without other nations • Non-unique • The plan deters Russia and China from engaging in space militarization – it demonstrates that they can’t compete • Link turn

  4. Name That Argument – DA’s • DA says that the plan trades off with commercial development of space, which is currently booming. Private companies are vital to developing the technology to deflect an asteroid. Asteroid collision causes extinction. • What is the uniqueness? • Commercial development of space is currently booming • What is the link? • The plan trades off with commercial development • What is the impact? • Asteroid collision causes extinction • Aff answers – categorize them • Government spending on space accelerates technology development – which will eventually focus on asteroids • Link turn • The commercial space industry is failing and can’t survive in the current economy • Nonunique • A catastrophic asteroid collision is unlikely to occur • No impact • Private companies lack the incentive and resources to deflect asteroids – they will focus on other things and divert attention from the asteroid problem • No internal link

  5. 2NR Options • How many options should the negative give itself for what to go for in the 2NR? • 3-2-1 (3 in the 1NC, 2 in the block, 1 in the 2NR) • A hypothetical negative block contains a topicality argument, the spending DA, an international actor CP, and case defense. What are the 3 complete 2NR options? • Topicality • Spending DA + case • Spending DA + International actor CP • When does answering the case in the 2NR become unnecessary? • When going for a CP that solves the case

  6. Name That Argument – CP’s • CP to use the Department of Defense instead of NASA • Agent CP • CP to fund Constellation, but not to use Boeing or Lockheed Martin for any of the mission’s projects • PIC (Plan Inclusive CP) • CP to ask China whether we should do the plan • Process CP (Consultation) • CP to fund more fellowships in the aerospace field in order to boost space leadership • Advantage CP

  7. Name That Argument – CP’s • What are the 2 ways that a CP can be competitive? • 1) Be mutually exclusive • 2) Be net beneficial • What are the 5 components of a successful 2AC against a CP? • Solvency deficit(s) • Theoretical objection(s) • Offense • Permutation(s) • Links to the net benefit • Give an example of each type of response to the private contracts CP you heard yesterday.

  8. Name That Permutation! • Plan: Fully fund Constellation • CP – offer tax credits for investment in the commercial space industry • Permutation 1: Fully fund Constellation and offer tax credits for investment in the commercial space industry • Perm – do both • Permutation 2: Fully fund Constellation and offer tax credits for investment in Russian space firms • Intrinsic permutation • Permutation 3: Fund Constellation until the commercial space industry is viable on its own • Severance permutation
