Every modern society has a government of some sort, and every society has an economy as well. But how do the government and the economy intersect in society? That debate is prevalent in the United States today: how much influence should the government have on businesses, workers, and the economy? Some people say that the government should not have much influence on the economy-only the minimum necessary to ensure that society functions well. Others say that the government should ensure fair and equitable distribution of resources for all companies and workers. Still others say that the role of the government falls somewhere between those two extremes. You can start thinking about the intersection of government and the economy in the United States by considering your everyday life. From the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night, what contacts do you have with the government? Which of those contacts are related to the economy?

Answer: The contacts that I have with the government since the moment I woke up in the morning until I go to bed at night are:

First: When I woke up I change my clothes and I have to put on something suitable for school so I won't use swim clothes, or no clothes at all for example, because the goverment says that schools have the right to educate us and tell children what to wear. Also, I cannot go out without clothes because the goverment has to follow the law, which tells me that is a crime to be naked in public streets. If I go naked outside, my parents will have to pay a fine because I am breaking the law.

Second: When I go to school I take the bus and the goverment is the one that has to check that all scholar buses function properly so there are no accidents. The government has to pay the public schools

Third: The government has to pay the public schools money to function so our parents don't have to pay for education. When I eat my lunch at school, the government has to pay people also to control that the food it's good. All my teachers and people working at school is payed by the government.

Fourth: When I come back home, I eat snacks that my parents bought in the supermarket, and the goverment has to decide which goods are essential for people and cannot be so expensive, so all the people can buy it.

In conclusion, the government is responsible to check that all basic activities that people do work properly. Almost all things we do are controlled economically by the government, to have public schools, to eat our food and even to make people follow the law.
