Freshman – Ft.

When our debts and other actions are regulated and acted upon by the government, it takes away the ability for us to improve and try to get out of the situation ourselves. If we cannot find a way for ourselves to stand up to the challenges we have created, then we cannot grow as individuals that keep America, and our government, running.”

Increased government reliance takes away the individualism that we as Americans have built our lifestyle around. Whether Republican or democrat. If it pushes more for dependence on our federal or even state government, I see it as a step in the wrong direction as a country.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Michaela Reynolds
