People may think that relying on the government to solve our problems has made us less self-reliant, undermining our independence and self-sufficiency, but the government has been doing a good job with keeping everything in line, and in order. If the government did not provide any of the benefits that we have, then we would not have them today. Americans should be more responsible, but the government has a lot more to say than just one individual. This means that the government should have more responsibilities. One individual can create more jobs, make roads safer, and improve the schools. It just takes hard work and dedication to the things that person is doing. One person can change a lot, and make a big difference in the community. When one person likes what another person is doing in the community, then they will want to follow. After that, one person turns into a lot of people, and it will be like a train effect where everyone is helping out, and working together. The government has plenty of responsibilities, and they should stay in control of the bigger responsibilities that one person or a group of people cannot handle. People are in charge of their own things, but the government should be responsible of everything, because they have done a great job so far.
