I have never stopped to think about those people who run our government and their true role. I am surprise to find out that there are millions of dollars being wasted on campaigns just to get a say in the government. After reading "Needed: More time legislating and less time fundraising." written by Ashley Arnerich I have realized that I never really payed attention on how much money candidates spent on campaigns just to be able to have a say in our government, less likely I would know about all their "Supporters" whom help them out financially just because they also want a say in the government and they can't be there. It is really sad to realize that those running our government worry more about keeping their "supporters" happy to stay in office than fixing our problems. If they really wanted to keep our country in good shape they wouldn't let any person manipulate them with money but because they want that seat in Congress they lose the real reason of why they are running.
I agree that there should be restrictions on how much money candidates should waste to keep it even and fair for everyone but also to make sure that they are not only doing it for the financial aid they get. Maybe our problems wouldn't be so serious. I may not make much sense because I just can't really see how it would be if we had regulations about this but think about it and read Ashley's post and then try to imagine if thing would be different. I believe everything would be better if not everything was about money and our problems could be more easily solved.

The United States and its problems
The U.S is a country where many come to find opportunities they do not have in their countries and also it represents a threat to other countries and groups. It has many good things as well as bad like for example in many states gay marriage has become legal, immigrant students have gotten an opportunity to go to college and work legally,etc. yet we also have many bad things going on like the threat of ISIS and the immigration reform and the constant fighting between the government branches about the decisions made about this things.
Throughout the years our country has come upon hard decision and problems many didn't know they could happen like the terrorist attacks and the immigration problems which seem to drag our country into constant battle within itself. As we know our country was build with these three branches of government that are supposed to keep the country in good shape and its suppose to keep it balanced, and it has or so it tries to. Those who represent our branches are selected every few years and problems change, because of this not everything stays the same, for example now Obama is trying to implement new laws and make it all better so that those who don't have a chance get one like immigrants yet the other branches do not agree on his decisions and try to stop it, which is not such a big deal if it doesn't affect you but when they try to make it possible and drag our country's safety into something totally irrelevant that is another thing. The House of Representatives tried doing this to bring our President's decision down yet it didn't work because many realized that it was just not something worth the risk, and although they tried their hardest to use the country's safety they lost the argument.
Our country has two different political parties who believe different things and who compete against each other just to win yet they do not realize that their job is to keep our country safe from external and internal problems. It seems like our government is not trying to work together to keep us safe and keep our country standing in good shape. There are many controversies going on about the decisions our President has been making but instead of the branches coming together to solve the problem they seem to be attacking each other instead of trying to keep our country in good shape and safe. If these keeps being a problem in the future our country will be destroyed.
