  1. Each point in your conclusion could be the topic of an entire essay -- these are the provocative and revelatory themes, especially this one: "1. If the budget is not stimulated, there could be more strikes and sit ins than expected." Re-cast it into a provocative statement rather than a conditional (if/then).
