“Is government necessary” is a highly talked about debate in the U.S. I for one think that as a nation, we do need a government to flourish. I believe our government needs to set regulations and boundaries to maintain order. If we didn't have government, there would be many negatives that would happen including loss of food safety, loss of personal safety, and a crash in our economy. First, our food would not be safe to eat anymore because the government sets standards for food companies. Some of these standards are how clean restaurants are and how much bacteria is in the food. If we didn't have these regulations we would all become very sick. Second, our personal lives would be in danger. The government has the military to protect us from other countries and dangerous groups of people. Without the government there is no military support, and without the military countries could invade at any time. This puts everyone's life in danger because we have no protection. Lastly, our economy would crash for many reasons. There would not be any minimum wage so people would get very little income and become very poor. Also there would be a loss of many jobs with all of the government jobs not having to work anymore. Also, our country would become not as smart because there would not be a law that children would have to go to school. Those reasons and many more are the reason that Government is very necessary to our great nation.
