Good: The government does its best to protect its citizens from any harm, and is open to opinions on if any laws or policies need to be changed.

Bad: The government tends to tax everyone a lot, even if many are struggling to make a living. They also are taking away money from important things, such as schools which help build the people of our future. Some of us Americans aren't even sure if we can trust the government that they are using our tax money for the right things.

Our government outlines the foundation of our country. It has it's good side, but it also has it's bad side too.
The good thing about the government is that it allows us to have rights, unlike some unfortunate coutries. Also, we are a democracy, meaning we the people have a voice. And the list goes on. With qualities like these, our government is already better than other countries'.
But the down side of our government is that it is leading our ecnonomy down the drain, causing musch distress to the people. Job loss, budget cuts, and lack of money is hurting everyone, THANKS TO OUR GOVERNMENT.

The Good and Bad of Gvernment

Government is the homeostasis of society; it regulates all of us as citizens of the state. It provides us with defense, liberties, and necessities that in countries would be considered luxuries. However, it is not singular being; it is made of many individuals: mayors, leaders, senate members, and so on. Each individual are subject to corruption and human errors for we as a species are not perfect morally. There are some that use their governmental powers for the people, while others use it for their own benefits. Plus, within the government, there are parts of it would be considered "conservative" and restricts us as citizens to express ourselves and live out our lives. Prop 8 would be a simple example. The 1970 Watergate scandal demonstrated the desperate measures people were willing to take to be in the Presidential office of America.

Okay. Now to the good stuff.

The government makes sure that everyone has plenty, that no sector within the infrastructure that maintains our welfare is ever weak. It provides domestic security so we as citizens can be safe and it allows us to express our discontent whenever the government is about to screw up big time. So basically citizen and government would be considered to be part of a love-hate relationship.
