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.

1 bad/1 good goverment

One good thing about the goverment is education

Paul Reyes

A good thing about the govt. is that the citizens have rights.
A bad thing is higher costs for universities.

Good: Free education through high school

Bad: Required to Pay for education beyond high school
A good thing about the government is that there is a lot of freedom, such as freedom of speech and religion.

A bad thing about the government is that there can be too much tax.

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.
Good: Gives us freedom of speech and the right to practice the religion of your choice. Also, programs such as Social Security are important too.

One good thing about the US government is the constitution and the amendments that gives rights to everyone living in the United States. One thing bad about the US government is that they have the power to tap into your phone, emails, and other private businesses.

Mariela Pena

Something good about the United States is that we have freedom of speech. One thing that is bad that only a few people make decisions on bigger issues

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.

David Vasser.

One good thing about Government is it lays out the laws that make the nation run more smoothly

One bad thing about the government no free health care and college is hella money

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.
Bad thing: The way democracy runs is that the majority opinion is right and minority is wrong. This is not always true.

Cindy Vuong

good thing: the right to vote;
bad thing: public colleges/universities are more expensive

Diana Lee

Something good about our government: We have a democracy.
Something bad about our government: Expensive college education

Joville Rose Rafanan

The good thing about the government is that it provides financial aid for college students to earn a degree.

The bad thing about the government is that the tax is very high.

An Le

Good: The government provides us with roads.

Bad: The government does not always fill pot holes. :(

Kelvin Shing

The bad thing about the government is that it is corrupted and they spend too much money. The good thing about the government is that we take care of those who are poor by giving them money.

Janina Umali

The good thing about the government is that we get welfare if you're poor and that we get to elect the president. The bad thing about government is that people spend too much money on stuff we might not need.
