Big Government wants to make you safe and give you liberty. But Benjamin Franklin said “They who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”. He lived under a big government that said they could give both. You know how that went. Many people today say we can have both. That people are good and will not take advantage of others. Look around you do you feel safe and free. We should feel “safe” we have more people in prison than any other country
Our Big Government Our government has been around since 1789, it has gone through a lot of ideas and changes. During the Clinton presidency, the government started to test the boundaries of how they can control the people of the United States.

Fight Social Injustice With a new President, in came the rush of a new agenda. Gone were the days of the Clinton era, a time of continued investment in big government programs and a commitment that the federal government would assist in healing societal wounds. With President Bush in office, the social work community knew it was in for big changes. Armed with an agenda consistent with his conservative beliefs, President Bush came forth with policies that attempted to downsize the federal role
and even passed bills that address reform issues within their respective states. Many reform proponents feel that changes in the civil justice system should be left to the states.

The Second World War (II) Wars are good business. They create an immediate demand for a wide variety of materials needed by the government in order to fight the war. They create work opportunities for people that might not ordinarily be considered part of the normal work force.

anyone's business about what people choose to consume? The government should follow the First amendment. Which states the people have the right to freedom. If they take away the people's right to eat junk food, salt, and sugar then the government is basically taking away their freedom to drink and eat what they please. Without the sugar, the salt, and other sweet components some foods would become rather bland and boring. If the government chooses to begin the ban on salt and sugar then, crimes would
