This point in society we are currently in a recession making it hard to put trust in

the government. In this essay I will give reasons why you should trust the government

and reasons why not to trust the government. I will first start off by identifying five

reasons to trust the government.

First, reason to trust government is because of the Food Safety Bill that was

recently passed by the senate. The bill gives more power to the Food and Drug

Administrators to help make the country’s food supply more safer. Food Contamination

Food safety is a major problem in many restaurants throughout the US. I think that this

bill will better the nation to many people are dying from food induced bacterial

contamination. The Food Safety Bill will help decrease the deaths we have each year

from food contamination.

Second, the Small Business Bill was passed. $42 billion was spent to create

around half a million jobs, $12 billion of that money was given to banks to be able to

make loans to small businesses.

Third, Privacy vs. Security say for instance, you are getting on a plane to travel

and see your loved ones for Christmas. The gifts and packages you bring with you will be

scanned in the security X-ray check. The reason for this is to protect the passengers, not

to invade there privacy. The government has plans in place to protect passengers privacy

and safety. Their trying to find the right balance between privacy and security.

Fourth, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty , also know as the START. This

treaty involves the U.S. and Russia. These two countries have more nuclear weapons than

any other nation. The new treaty will limit how many weapons they can have.

Fifth (need reason)

And these are my reasons why we can trust the government.

You could do a poll on how many people have trust in are government 95% if not more

will say that they have no trust in are government what so ever. Now, in this portion of

the paper I will discuss reason not to trust the government.

First, gas prices going up as of right now the national average for a gallon of

unleaded gas is $2.91.

Second, is the Federal Wage Freeze. The U.S. government workers may not be getting a

pay raise for the next two years. This proposal is from the president who says this about

getting the government deficit under control and that sacrifices made would have to be

shared with government employees.

Third, is the deficit debate as of right now the U.S Government is dealing with a

major deficit meaning the government is spending more money than what is being

brought in.

Fourth, Unemployment benefits. About two million Americans are expected to stop

getting checks in December. The final reason, not to trust the government is the situation

with North and South Korea. America has a treaty with South Korea if war breaks out

again between North Korea and South Korea the U.S is committed to help defend South

Korea. I think that one of the biggest reasons we are in debt is because we are fighting

wars that have nothing to do with us.
