People vs Government

"Americans currently give the federal government and their representatives in Congress very negative reviews. Americans are dissatisfied with the way the nation is being governed, have record-low confidence in the legislative branch of government, believe that the government has too much power, and that individuals and businesses should be doing more and government less.

Some of these negative views are related to the dismal ratings of the economy. Americans no doubt find it hard to be positive about their political leadership when they perceive that the fundamentals of the national economy are moving in the wrong direction."  

       

       This passage emphasizes the dissatisfaction of the American people toward our political leaders.  This is mainly due to the country current economic status and some believe that the nation is heading into the wrong track. Moreover, the government is seen as having "too much power"; and it should be the people and the business industry that ought to be more proactive and government follows.       

 I chose this paragraph although the article was written back in 2011, it is still actuality primarily the economy part . Back in 2008, when President Obama was elected, the American people had hoped that the economy will get better. Six years later, some are saying things are better, but others are still skeptical. I think the leaders are more concerns about their political agendas than the American people. When Democrats say on thing, Republicans say the contrary which label the latter as the “party of NO”.

 Leaders from both parties should be united to fix the economy and put people back to work. We are stronger when we are united.
