The governments job is the insure peace and equality. Supply the country with education. Protect civilians, and help them out in a time of need.
I do think the government should help the poor and restore the middle class back into America. Everyone goes through hard times, and we should be generous enough to help out. We unit when it comes to war and we should unit when it comes to helping others in need that live in the same country, deal with the same issues every American is dealing with in todays society.
