My Persoanal complaints about the United States Government.
The
first reason that these issues emerge is because of political polarization,
this has become more common place in the American political system as people
who are in separate parties are not allowed to come to a compromise simply because
then they will seem “weak” to other people in that party. This makes for many
debates that resolve nothing and instead waste more time as was apparent in
October 2013, when there was a government shut down because Republicans didn’t want
to come to any compromise and just decided to throw a hissy fit over not
getting there way. This can easily be fixed by politicians learning to compromise
again, as they did during FDR administration during the great depression, as
even if people were in different parties there was a need for proactive legislation
which was passed in the form of FDR’s “New Deal”. 
The
second reason for they issues is money as it seems that every day more politicians
are focused on what their pay is rather than the work they are doing. From
election campaigns to the likelihood that a bill will be past, money has its
way of getting into the political process and mucking it up. I understand that
nothing is free but the fact that congress literally does nothing before
elections is ridiculous when there are huge problems that won’t sit still for
them. This is also annoying when special interest groups are involved in politics
and the ones with more money can get what they want, it makes the American political
system a place where only the rich get what they want. This could be fixed by
just having the focus of the government on making changes for the good for more
people rather than a select few.
These
“Do-Nothing politics” really do hinder America’s full potentially in the global
political game and it honestly annoys me, personally to see grown adults act
like children when they should be focusing on the betterment of the American
people. I complain about this government because I care and wish to see it
return to its glory days of actually being able to compromise and pass efficient
legislation, I would hate to see America struggle with issues that could have easily
been solved by changes that need to be made, even if they are hard at first but
will eventually set America up for a more progress and well off future for all
of the American people.
