The American government is one that has been around for hundreds of years, and despite our problems and struggles, as a country we've done a good job of staying united for the most part. I think that our systems could definitely use some revamping, upgrading, and improvement, but we have a strong system. The main problem with our system is that it's out-dated and inefficient. We've been running essentially the same system for a few hundred years, and over time some traditional methods are just no longer feasible.
Our government officials could also use some refreshment. Our officials are corrupt, over-paid, slow workers. Not that they don't work hard and get the job done, but they could definitely use some boost to improve efficiency. May of the things that go through congress take much longer than they ought to. I blame this on the partisanship that we have from the members that hold office. I believe that the Representative should do just that, represent. They should be less concerned with politics and more concerned with getting the voices of their constituency heard.
Many of the problems with the efficiency in our country is that we still use old filing systems and almost all of our records are on paper, then have to be manually entered in to a computer database. In my opinion we should be almost completely moved to computerization of our record keeping. This means when someone applies for something such as a license they do it on the computer and it's immediately and automatically put in to our record system. Any government which has to keep records of over 300 million people such as ourselves, should be much more automated and efficient than it currently is.
