What can the US Government do to change?

Question

I agree with Bono on his statement on poverty in Africa, but what about the US. There are children here that go to bed hungry and there parents work for minimum wage and work hard and don't have medical care for there children or themselves and don't even get a good education. So why is it this away if u are in a foreign country u can get all these services free,but not here .

Answer 1

Thanks for finally asking this question. I get so sick of rock stars and celebrities helping out other countries while people within their own cities are starving. I recently heard that Bill Gates is donating 600 million dollars to another country to help the starving. What about Americans? It makes me think that these people are doing it for the publicity instead of true goodwill. The same people who are donating money to these countries who are in desperate need because they have no birth control and therefore their population are out of control are the same people who rant and rave against welfare here in the U.S. It just boggles my mind.

Answer 2

I agree...it can save some lives though. But I believe our countries should first look at the poverty stricken millions on their door step. Create employment, better wage bracket, better health and education.

Answer 3

They're not free and in limited supply in 3rd world countries. But I agree with you that there is a lot of room for improvement right here. First step, vote for the person that most closely reflects your views.

Answer 4

Trace the fault back in the education system.
What went wrong before and after independence.
Find the missing puzzle that will help you solve that silly blunders with slip-ups and human errors with rudeness and self prides with self discrimination on planet earth.
Let me know if you still can't find it.
Otherwise have to wait for the yellow ribbon to come out on planet earth.

Answer 5

By doing everything that Bono suggests isn't necessarily make life better for people in Africa.

Answer 6

Surrender I hope, and I disagree with you and Bonehead. Our corruptament has sent millions of wasted tax dollars there already, and most of it was stolen and used for personal gains via the corrupt despots that rule there, it's time for Africans to make a stand for themselves and fight to win their freedom just like our ancestors did.

Answer 7

The gov. doesn't really care that's because it is no longer for the people by the people and they will not change as long as they're making big bucks!

Answer 8

First step, get rid of Bush/Cheney, Rid us of his criminal administration. Now abandon the idea of political parties no ore Dems.,no more Republicans.......................NO MORE!

Answer 9

Nothing. It is perfectly fine as is.
