Food Stamps gave my mom a way to provide us food while she was trying to get a job. It’s programs like this that have allowed me to see the importance of having something to fall back on for families like us. I have learned quickly how financial burdens can affect somebody. I realize now how different our situation would have been without the governments help.
Healthcare is a must in our society. The benefit and security of the government providing people who cannot afford healthcare is essential. Medicaid is an important resource because gives families the assurance that if they bring in a low income, then their children will still have heath insurance and receive the care they need if they ever get sick or hurt.
Programs like Food Stamps and Medicaid are imperative to our society. Along with the other government programs, they all have one thing in common: the goal of providing somebody with a better future. Nobody ever thinks that they would be stuck in financial difficulties, but things can happen so unexpectedly that it could to happen to anybody. Nobody ever wants to admit that they are struggling, but sometimes people need help financially in order to get back on their feet.
Nothing in life is guaranteed and things can happen in an instant. Government programs can take away a sense of fear people have when something unplanned happens. Our government is suppose to provide security for citizens and through government programs, this goal is achieved.
These programs have provide millions of people with the support and help they needed to get back on their feet, but in order to make these programs as effective as possible, more rules and regulations should be in place. I believe that it is important to make sure everybody who is receiving government assistance is using it responsibly. Government programs are in place to help people get on their feet, so in order to make sure it is helping people, there should be mandatory counseling sessions to help people get off these programs and be successful.
My world would be much different today if the government didn’t have a program my mom could fall back on to take care of our family. Financial troubles are hard to admit to somebody when asking for help, but the programs our government provides to people in need gives hope that these problems will eventually vanish. The national debt keeps growing, but the economy is improving. This can only mean positive things for the future, as people are able to get off government programs. The success of these programs are seen when people are able to provide for themselves and can help others who are in the same situation.
