Government Assistance

The biggest problem I have with our government is where all the money goes… the government has a plan for where they have to spend their money, however, if they do not spend it the way they said they would, nothing happens, they don’t get in trouble, or they don’t have any consequences. The government is like their own little world, they have nobody there that they have to look up to, to make sure that they don’t screw up. We have three branches of the government, the judicial, executive, and the legislative, the thing is, they all work together, and instead of looking out for one another, they let all the crazy ideas through and get into more trouble. It’s not that I don’t like the government, because I really do, living here under their laws and rules is a heck of a lot better than living over in china in a communism community.
The government has helped me and my family out a lot, with FEMA and other government assistant programs during the flood of the summer of 2008. However, maybe it wasn’t enough. I find it mind boggling how the government is able to help all of the thousands of people who needed money for their mortgages and the government was able to take a billion dollars and bail them out, even though it was their own fault for getting into something that they should have known they could not handle. On the other hand, some of the flood victims had little to no assistance from the government, along with loosing everything from the flood. Now explain how that is fair!
