What can we do to fix our government?

take out the corruption by giving politicians the same penalties that ordinary citizens get. If a guy can get 25 to life for stealing a piece of pizza (this really happened with California's three strike law) then what would be fair in the Enron case?

This is a fiscal Titanic and something should be done.  First, raise taxes on the rich.  Second, cut spending, like on Abstinence Preaching and other right-wing social engineering schemes.  Third, sell the Bush and Cheney families into slavery.

Well we personally can't .  If you really want it talk to your legislators.

Send them back home and come back Legally.  Make rules how. Enforce those rules. Cut off all services. Penalize the companies that hire them. We have plenty of buses. Make rules on who can return and start a list. \n Tell them what they can do in their homeland.\n\nSend  our Government with them.

In the long run no there is nothing we can do. We as a species will either die out or evolve into something that does not resemble current modern day man. Eventually the Sun will go red giant and swallow the Earth. Then the sun will die out and turn cold. Things get even more grim after that. \n\nGlobal Warming: yes in there are things that we could do to make it less sever less quickly, namely slow our use of fossil fuel. \n\nWars, hatred, and racism.. Those things will wax and wane over time. \n\nTsunamis: get away from the coast after an earthquake, subsurface landslide, or Ocean landing meteor strike. \n\nTornadoes: stay away from the South and Midwest. \n\nSoaring temperatures: move closer to the polar icecaps, or higher elevations. \n\n  Can we turn it around depends on whether or not you believe in free will. \n\n  Is it too late: Right now this is the only ship we have to ride, so keep fighting until it goes down. That is all that any of us can do. Giving up will solve nothing. Placing all of your hopes that someone else will fix it, or some God will come down and clean up our mess is just fanciful dreaming. \n\nWe can lobby our government. We can vote. We can drive economy cars, carpool or take the bus. We can recycle. We can use more insulation in the walls and ceilings of our homes. We can invest in alternative fuels.\nNever give up hope.

We are the government. If you want to make a difference vote. Keep up to date on politics. Know what's going on around you. Education is the key. If you want things to get better educate yourself and your children.

The only way to improve our government is to change it. People are smart; they know who has increased the national debt, or they can reference the figures on line. Bush may cooperate with Dems on certain issues, if he has to. We don't know yet how he'll act because he's always had a totally complaint Congress.

You can't !!! You don't have the financial resources plus the fact that the government controls almost every aspect of our lives in one way or another. If you want things to improve you must VOTE and encourage all your friends to VOTE as well.

We need to wake up ourselves, and we need to get involved with our government. More people need to send letters to their represenatives with their worries and communities need to rally and show their government, OUR government, that we have more important issues in this country than tax cuts and banning gay marriage(which I am against). The people need to get involved. Vote! Rally! Write letters! Show that we're involved and that we need a government for the people, by the people like our Constitution says, not rich senators and represenatives concerned with popularity.

This question is so much fun .... thank you for asking.\n\nThe federal government refuses its responsibility to defend our borders. Most state governors refuse to take action. We get the same response from city and county leaders.\n\nAnd the suggestion is to prosecute private businesses ? \n\nDid you consider jailing government employees that give social services to illegal aliens ?  Did you consider jailing school administers or hospital official for providing services to illegal aliens ?\n\nOnce again .... Government fail to perform their duties and private businesses are prosecuted. Thanks for the good laugh.

Yes, let's create a branch of government for everyone.  Let's not fix the issue on our own, such as where we spend our money or who we vote for.  It's probably best if we just create more government to solve all of our problems.
