What is the Government Thinking?

The US is drowning in debt; the very taxes we pay for are only a fraction of the cost that we owe. As the government survives into their first month after the shutdown they continue to spy, or “patrol on the people’s interest on the web.” What is the point of all this? Where are our rights? Is this safe, or the better question should be what does this have to do with innovating our country? Our taxes go straight to the government for innovation and debts of our valued country, but where is the innovation? What in the world are we paying them for and what are we accomplishing?

However, let’s not jump to conclusions; let’s think about how this could be beneficial to our country. If we spy, I mean, “patrol,” what the citizens of today do online and on their cellular devices perhaps we can find information on what the public is more interested in. This could lead to more businesses, more jobs, and, my favorite, “customer satisfaction”. More businesses and jobs to actual American citizens (not immigrants) would be the cure to solving our financial problems and help increase our literacy rate. Together, the government can help the community and possibly keep the rich people rich and get the middle class a new level.

So now we look to the public to decide on what the government is truly doing, where our money from taxes is going and how our country’s debt is getting resolved; moreover IF it is getting resolved. Some may say that it is for the good of the public that the government is looking over our shoulders, others may say it is a violation of our privacy, and then there are those who are more interested in the life of the next generation. Interestingly enough, citizens find it interesting how the US is starting to spend money in gold rather than the American dollar currency, what is America coming to and how is the government helping it?
