Government! Government! Government! What can we say about our United States government? They make us happy one minute and outraged the next. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into being apart of the United States government. Little do we “regular” people actually know what all our government provides us with.
When I was younger, I didn’t really understand what the word government meant. All I thought it was, was just a bunch of people arguing about stuff and never seemed to agree on anything. Now I feel that the government is one of the main powers in the United States that enforces major laws, protects states and provides help for our allies. Government comes in when we wish to establish laws for general policies and specific disputes. There are three different branches that make and enforce laws, in which they hold their own power. They center on freedom; freedom to be successful and to make mistakes, neither of which is currently supported but both are very important. I feel that people really should take time out to really understand why we have a government. Social security, military, retirement are just some of the thing the government provides us with. Present day, things haven’t been going well. We’ve been in a recession for about a couple years now and I believe that the government is doing everything they can to help us. It’s just sometimes we don’t understand the decisions they make. Everybody knows about the recent health care bill that was passed. Yes people don’t agree with the decision but isn’t it benefiting us at the end? Being a part of the government holds a big responsibility and a lot of dedication. Young people like myself, should take time out to pay a little more attention to our United States government.

Every government of the nation has its responsibility towards its citizen. They do their best to give what we as a citizen really need. It is because of them, we are known as one of the world power. My friend, Eb mentions about social securiy, military and old age benefits that we get, is something that no other nation provides it to their citizens. Only few countries around the world that are well-developed has benefits like we do. We should be thankful to our present government as well as our past government for taking care of us. I beleive that it is neccessary for us to return this favor by being involed and taking interest in our goverenment like Eb said. Current health care reform and the nucler treaties signed with Russia is an example of our current government's effort to please their citizens. This link below shows all the benefits and grants that United States provides to citizens for their welfare.
