Bad: Allows some monopolies, even though they are illegal.

Yang Long

The good thing about the goverment is the Medical insurence, free educations, and freedom of speech. Most people in US are secured we have decent jobs and pretty well living astablishments. The bad thing is we often waste spendings on useless things. Interferes with other countries problem to much and the goverment is also wasting billions because they enjoy sticking their noises into other countries businesses.

Jenny Shen

Something good about the government is that they don't block websites like YouTube and Facebook because of freedom of speech. Something bad is that there is social services, but the workers are irresponsible and government doesn't even know.

Tammy Yip

A positive thing about our government is that we have free schooling until 12th grade. In fact, it's pretty much required.

A negative thing would be our "line of succession" in terms of Presidency, I guess (off the top of my head). Cummins mentioned something about two REALLY old guys from the Congress being in the top ten. Maybe we need a "max age" limit.

Emmie Le

The government is beneficial because it provides services and programs that assists disadvantaged American citizens (e.g. free/reduced lunch programs for low-income students, scholarships/grants/financial aid for college students, homeless shelters, etc.)
On the other hand, it can be inclined towards/biased with a particular race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, which renders equality among all people impossible.

Jamie Williams

Something good about the American Government:

Safety nets for unemployment, homeless, and retirement

Something bad about the American Government:

The Social Security is slowly putting the country in the red

Lillian Trinh

Good thing: The government helps provide things that the people cannot provide for themselves, i.e. roads.
