The government may be able to
take advantage of the recession in which the USA is at this time. The need for
people to get economical resources to continue their trend of life could lead to
benefits for the general population. On the other hand, unemployment could lead
to the increase of criminal rates. If the government starts a few different
programs that in other circumstances would be expensive, at this time they could
be less costly and help make the country safer. We could help make this country
a safer place, cleaner and more educated. Here are my suggestions:
It may be a good time to take
guns out of circulation and away from people that could be misusing them. This
suggestion could be to offer people food or money in exchange from those
weapons. I am sure that some families in need that may have weapons at home,
which they never use, rather have money or food, especially in this time of
recession. By establishing a program that could recuperate guns or rifles in
exchange of food or money we are also making a better society and saving money.
It is more costly to deal with the committed crimes than to prevent them by
disarming our society. People in need that are in a bad situation could decide
to sell their weapons to the wrong people in order to get their basic needs. The
government could prevent that by implementing a program to recover those
weapons. I am not talking about something too complicated. Just offer money or
food in exchange of pistols and rifles. I should not matter what condition they
may be in.
Another thing that could be a
good time to start is the clean up of our streets. The cities and towns could
implement a program in which, instead of paying big companies to do the
cleaning, they could offer a street block or area to families in need so they
make money by cleaning them. What I mean is to ask families in need to clean
certain area in exchange for food, medication or money that otherwise would have
been paid to companies for the maintenance of the city. It is important to focus
on helping the families that are in the lowest income bracket because they are
the ones suffering the full weight of this recession. The base for small
businesses income is the families in the lowest income bracket. A program
like this could give these families the opportunity to overcome this bad
economical situation
My third proposal is to educate and help the economy at the
same time. Anybody with a high school diploma or higher education could help
change the attitude of some people by either helping them learn how to read and
write or the basics of the English language. In this country we have people from
all over the world and some of them have been so cut up on their work or the
need to help their families that they had no time to fully integrate to our
society by learning the basics of the culture. If you feel capable of helping
somebody learn the language basics or how to read and write you could get the
opportunity of earning some money, if we had a program like this. The idea would
be to have people without a job earn some money while they find one. I am
talking about a part time that will ensure some income while they are unemployed
or going through a hardship. The economy is playing hard ball with low income
families and it is very difficult to find a job at this time.
