Is the government able to handle all of its responsibilities? Should we the people allow the government to take a chunk of our money to spend however they see fit? Both sides of this argument provide interesting points. On one hand, everybody knows that waste is very high in the government sector. Why should waste matter to politicians who are only look in 2 year election cycles? They can just borrow money, accomplish what they need to, and look good to their constituents. But waste does matter to the regular taxpayer who gets stuck with the bill. On the other hand of the argument, our government does a good job of taking care of people who can not help themselves, protecting our national security, maintaining law and order, and repairing infrastructure. I am interested in knowing where tax money should be spent since it comes directly out of our pockets.

For one thing, I am a huge advocate for having a smaller government. The size and scope of our government has increased substantially--partly because of the war. I am a complete supporter of the war and hope to see plans carried out till the end. It doesn't help that Americans are growing tiresome of the war and its effect upon our economy. The overall packaging of bigger governments and war increases spending, taxation, and debt for the American people.
ReplyDeleteI think your question about whether or not people believe our government can handle all of its responsibilities depends majorly on who is in office and what party is in control on other levels, as well as the respondent's ideology.
