Social security is not perfect by any means, but as a program, it has good intentions, and that is one reason to trust our government to do what is right and proper for senior citizens. Many of them have served our country in many ways, and social security means they can be comfortable as they grow older.
Do the Right Thing - In many areas of government, historically they have chosen to do the right thing. Finally giving women the vote was the right thing to do, even if it took too long. Passing civil rights legislation was the right thing to do, even though it took too long, as well. Ending slavery was the right thing to do, well, you get the idea. It may take the government time to do the right thing, but it most cases, especially with really big issues, they end up doing the right thing, and that is an important reason to trust the government.
On the Local Level - While there can be corruption and influence at every level of government in our country, for the most part, local politicians seem to want to do what is best for their area. Many actually run for office in the desire to make real change and progress in their communities, and they want to do what is right for their constituents. While this may seem naive, it seems...
While it may not be perfect, it is certainly preferable to many of the alternatives, such as Communism. We enjoy many personal freedoms in this country because of our democracy, and we may not agree with others, but they have the right to express their opinions because we live in a democracy. The alternative is much more difficult to comprehend, and to live under.

If enough of us get involved, we do have the power to create a better government, and that relies on us voting. The founding fathers created a system that has checks and balances, and where no one area of the government has more power over another. The system works in the long run, and it is good for the people in the end. We just have to recognize that we do have the power, and exercise that power to make our voices heard.
In fact, Don should have handled the situation honorably from the beginning, to gain respects from Charlie and others, and show his caring and concern for his workforce. Instead of promising his superior that he would do what it takes to ensure the project is done, he should have noted that the project could not be completed if the budget is cut, and that he would complete as much
"Forecasts by Moody's Economy.com now use a 20 percent drop in median existing-home prices from their 2005 peak as a baseline, with prices weakening through at least mid-2009" (Shinkle, 2008, p. 44). Moody's director of housing economics Celia Chen, states in the same report that the 20% decline is the good news and that the bad news is that it could easily be more than that. The worst-case scenario is a lot more than that. "You
Headlines In recent years, the greatest failures of government have been in the economy and foreign policy, and public opinion polls demonstrate overwhelming distrust of both Republicans and Democrats on these issues. According to recent headlines on the Daily Beast Cheat Sheet, almost all stories about the local, state and federal governments as well as politicians and the political process as a whole, reflect a mostly negative, cynical and distrustful public
status of federalism within the U.S. It is the thesis of the paper that the President, the Courts and Congress have assumed influential and significant roles in the shaping of federalism in recent decades. Initially, a conceptualization of federalism will be offered as established by the founding fathers. Current literature will then be used to identify factors associated with and the role assumed by the presidency, the Courts and
Government Do we dare not to trust the government? There are very good reasons not to trust the government. A great deal of evidence points to the idea that the current administration is essentially owned by big business, and that it is willing to sell out the interests of individuals for the sake of corporations. Just a brief look at recent stories show why one should not trust the government: the increase
Future investments would be better possible and a timely payment of debts would also help the employer.
