Our government has greatly changed since the framers implemented it back in colonial times. The framers felt that the federal government should have much less power than it does today, and they believed that the states should have more power than they have today. In today’s society the federal government, I believe, has way too much power. I believe that the federal government should not interfere in the economy at all. I believe in a true free market in which the government should not play any role in. This mainly started with the new deal when the government wanted to fix the great depression by creating countless programs that would give the government more control. Also we should not go into any foreign country when we can’t even take care of ourselves. Citizens have lost lot of trust for their government recently because of the economic crisis along with the ongoing war on terror.
The plan that this article mentions is unnecessary. This would give the government even more control in our lives. Why would they need to invest money in American born babies? They should not worry about this at all. This plan is horrible and idealistic. It is not horrible because it is idealistic, but it is horrible because it gives the government control in areas that it should not have any control in. I think the federal government that exists today has too much power, and by implementing this plan it would give it even more power. The states should deal with educational and medical issues. This article also mentions how most fourth graders can not read at the basic reading level. This is due to the media and the lack of parental supervision over their children’s studies. You should not blame the schools you need to blame the kids along with their parents. Mainly the kids, especially the ones in high school and college who are old enough to realize that their education is solely based on their own habits. People need to stop blaming others and need to take control of their lives in their own hands.
