I think that the current state of the U.S. Government is pretty good, but it needs to be improved a little bit. The constitution allows incredible freedom, and life is pretty good in the United States. There are also many things that should be improved.
One of the most controversial topics right now is the affordable care act, or Obama care (for those outside the US, This ensures that everybody has healthcare). I think it is a good idea to make sure everybody has healthcare, but I think that it should be provided by the government instead of having the people pay for it. It should come out of tax money, because if you are really poor, you would not want to spend your only money on health insurance.
Another debated topic is fracking. I think that it should definitely be illegal, because fracking is known to cause environmental problems. I will not go too deeply into these problems because this is a slice and not an essay.
One thing that should be completely removed is the National Terror Alerts. These are just meant to make the people scared of terrorism and therefore fund the war in Afghanistan. Ever since they were started, there have been no major acts of terrorism, so they are practically just waisting time for the CIA. I get that we should be aware of terrorism, but it is not good to spread fear about them.
