comment on "The US Government"

I have read an editorial “The US Government” by my classmate Kenneth in his blog "The National Prerogative." I agree with him that the government is ineffective, costly, and complicated today. When our Founding Fathers created the legislative, executive, and justice systems, they put many limits on their authorities in order to separate the power and make them check and balance each other. However, this huge and complex government has so many difficulties to pass a law or make a decision. Nowadays, we are living in the 21th century where everything changes so fast. This unproductive and ineffective ruling style should be improved. For example, they should eliminate the filibuster which has waste so much time and killed so many bills. I also agree that the government is costly and extravagance. The campaign of the Senators, Representatives, and president are very expensive. Instead of spending the huge money on election, why not spend it on the things that are crying needs. Moreover, as Kenneth said, the imperfect system enables some officials to make “pork barrel” for pleasing their constituency. Indeed, people do not mind to tax themselves to pay their representatives and senators, but they are disappointed and dissatisfied about the ineffective outcomes of the government. In addition, the complicated government and misleading media keep public out of the reach information and politic affairs. Maybe the rulers should spend a little budget on establishing an exclusive channel to inform the nation about what is going on inside the government; who the candidates of an office are and what their plans and supports are; which bills are on debates, and so on. At least, we should do something to improve and update the ineffective, costly and complicated government of the United States.
