Too long and not to efficient enough for this fast pace generation


         The national government could have a better system when it comes to electing the judicial court and building roads. I believe that the process of electing the judicial court is time consuming. I also believe that the road building system could be better because instead of building more roads we should be building a better transportation for the nation.
            When it comes to the national government choosing the judicial court it’s a time consuming. One it only happens but someone one the court dies or retires. I think this is a bit much. I think we should do two things, one we should have two different judicial courts, one for the younger generation to be reelected every 3 years so they can get some experience. Second, we keep the traditional judicial court and keep all the same regulations when electing, in addition they can stay as long as they want. I think the new on would help show who the people are that are elected and how they would act during their first three years in the new judicial court. The national government could do this to show that they have chosen wisely or not, it would basically be like a trail run for the judicial court in the three years.
            The national government spends a lot of money on building roads in the nation, but I think instead of building more roads they could come up with a better national transportation. Today we see roads that have been built 5 years ago being worked on again because they have been destroyed by cars and semi-trucks.  I think the national government could create a better national train. I believe this would help the national government in many ways such as, not spending so much money on the same after a few years, creating more jobs, easier to travel for all and to stop traffic nationwide. If foreign countries can have a successful train system to country to country, why can’t the nation? The national government could easily create this system they just need to try to steer away from roads and start building more trains for the nation. I believe they could start a campaign to create knowledge for the nation to get amped on the new system and I think a lot of Americans would agree, I know I would!

Less talk more action!


            The national government does not put in as much effort as it could to provide free healthcare in American. The healthcare in American is not what is should be compared to other countries, even with the new healthcare system it’s still not free, and there is no foreseen action from the national government to make an effort to get all American citizens free healthcare.
            Compared to other countries in the world the national government continues to spend more money on the healthcare system in America per capita, and it can not provide a healthcare system free for all citizens. If other countries like Switzerland and Singapore can efficiently create free healthcare system, why can’t our national government do the same. The national government should come up with ways to not only provide free healthcare but be more efficient in providing healthcare as well. With all other economic problems in America the one thing that could help keep American’s minds at ease is knowing they can get medical care when needed without worrying that they can’t afford it.       
            The national government puts a lot of effort to towards different issues in America and the last time the national government put effort into the healthcare system was back in 2012. The Obamacare was a huge step for Americans, but it still wasn’t free and continues to increase per person and child annually. The national government should put in more effort in making a free health care for all its top priority for years to come.
             A free healthcare system is not one of the top priorities for the national government. There has not been any signs or national talk about making any big efforts for future years. This can be a problem with more Americans needing more healthcare than ever to provide simple needs such as vaccinations or birth control for young women. With the population growing each year the demand for free healthcare increase. If the national government wants to do put in all the effort, they care for providing Americans with free healthcare, Americans need to see more actions taking place.

To Wu or Not to Wu?



I personally think that the editorial commentary that the New York Times recently released, titled “The Republican Attack onCalifornia” by Tim Wu, is spot on.  Tim Wu is an opinion writer for The New York Times and a professor at Columbia Law School. His past work experience has included positions at the Supreme Court, the Federal Trade Commission, the New York Attorney General’s Office, and the White House. His usual topics of interest for his editorials focus on the media, technology and competition policy. Wu continues to discuss his opinion on the topic of net neutrality. His attendant audience for this commentary piece is subject to everyone who uses the internet, Republicans and the state of California. Wu claims that the Republican Party, or more specifically, the Trump administration, is changing what the party stands for, which is traditionally focused on state’s rights. Wu argues that, as of lately, the Republican party no longer believes in federalism after a challenging California’s net neutrality laws. As for evidence of this, Wu writes, “Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a self-declared states’ rights champion, declared within hours of the law’s passage that the Department of Justice will sue California for infringing corporate prerogatives — that is, interfering with the right of cable and phone companies to block or slow internet content.” He went on to say that,“If the Republican Party actually believed in economic decentralization, it might well accept the premise of state rules where the federal government explicitly disclaims any authority to act.” These actions demonstrate how the Republican party is going out of its way to make sure California isn’t allowed to make its own laws on matters within the state in instances when the state government feels that the federal government does not have effective legislation. Wu’s second claims also shows if the Republican party really believed in what they say that they stand for, it would not be an issue; they would let California control its own laws and the federal government would have no reason to get involved. I agree with Wu’s stance, because it seems logical that once the federal government starts to interfere with state laws, as it seems to be in California’s case, it will create conflict and dangers for the union as a whole because they will be stripped of their power and the balance of state and federal government will be upset. If states can’t have their own reasonable laws, the foundation for our country, federalism, won’t exist.
