answer 2 political science questions
A bigger part of the debate about domestic policy has to do with the role of government. Is it really government’s job to provide things like health care and food to people– even those who need it?
This discussion usually shows up in two important areas– health care and housing. The dangers of having a healthcare system run by the government are outlined in a nice article on Obamacare, and the challenges with having the government step in to help people with mortgages is nicely outlined in this article on mortgages.
Read these articles (skimming is OK), then post your response to these questions:
- What is the best way for the government to help those who can’t help themselves (at least for the time being)?
- Should the government help people keep their homes if they can no longer make the payments?
