Journal 19 - Ideal United States

The ideal picture of the United States would be led by the best President ever, Franklin D. Roosevelt. He had such a good image of the United States. The New Deal was a great idea that he had. It made the United States beautiful all the way around. Then it brought us out of the Depression. It was just genius of him to create a way to get people jobs and make the whole structure of the United States way better off. I am not sure how that would work out in today's society considering we do not really need any more public works constructed and we are very modernized now. I am sure Franklin D. Roosevelt could figure something out though to improve the economy of our nation. He was a great president during the war as well. I am sure he would have handled the whole war on terrorism much better than George Bush did. I think something that would improve our nation a lot would be to stop buying so many foreign products. That is what started the whole recession we went into. It also screwed over GM with everything that happened. If we just bought American goods and items it would boost our economy greatly. If only people could have realized this before everything happen. Another thing would be to make the states more independent and let them rule themselves more. I do not like the idea of states because they are like countries within a country, but the bigger country rules everything else while the other countries inside of that larger country have their own rules that are not really important. So maybe the ideal United States would be to just stop the federal government and just make all of the states their own countries considering they are just as big as countries in Europe. That is a little bit more debatable than just buying American goods, but hey you never know what could work considering our country is terrible with government anyway.
