A Response to Mr. Romo's Article

I would like to start off by saying that there are some parts of Mr. Romo's article that I agree with, but then there are other parts that I absolutely do not. I very much agree that our nations debt should have been highly considered during this campaign. The candidates spent little to no time discussing actual policies, at least any realistic ones, and the media coverage failed to provide the american people any evidence of our candidates solutions. I also agree with Mr Romo's suggestion of placing more funding within our school systems. America is ranked relatively low in education when compared to the world, and a more educated public could lead to better policies and more informed elections. Also as Mr. Romo brought up, better funding in the schools could allow some great minds to develop and provide new, fresh ideas to better our Country. Now, I do not agree with Mr. Romo's idea that the current administration has left us in a "finical crisis". We are very much not still in the hole that former President George W. Bush left us in. Obama's white house has made huge strides in alleviating the finical burden we previously had. I also do not think Mr. Romo's accusation of Obama's administration focusing solely on healthcare and foreign affairs is accurate. While the majority of his work, at least what was most talked about, is in these fields, the current President has done quite a lot in all areas of American life. I do agree that we need to cut military spending, however, I am not sure how realistic this may be given the situations we have found ourselves in. Mr. Romo's argument that our representatives should focus more so on our country than on attacking each other rings very true. To make this country the super power we claim to be, we need representation that cares about, and focuses on it's people rather than re-election and advancement. The underlying message of Mr. Romo's article was very good, and I hope someday we will have a national government what truly works for our benefit as a whole, rather than themselves.
