The government tries to argue that they can't do anything to stop protestors on wall street. Lie. Or they can't help the debt deal. Lie. Or they can't help people anymore. Lie.
Two explanations: Laziness and greed to not accept anything Obama says. The government one by one in the world is crumbling. A world war three is awaiting. Chaos. Nothing good is stirring. The governments don't take actions. Millions die a day because the government is to STUPID AND IRRESPONSIBLE!! That right, I said it. A horrible government in each country. They don't care. Not one. Dint even try to defend it.
A smart man once said a peaceful world isn't built on starvation and poverty and a lazy government.
Those things are all coming true. And the government cares more about clipping their toe-nails then this.
Back then, we had intelligent leaders. Now we have leaders who squabble and don't listen to each other and ruin a country cause he's not republic or democrat or Muslim or Jewish.
Who are the government  trying to fool? Right now they just act dumb and enjoy suffering while nothing is ever passed as a law or countries do stupid things that show irresponsible acts of dumbbell ness.
Look at our world. Everything is messed up. Most don't care and truly and fully won't until the world is thrust into war again. Right now it looks like no end is in site and country's borders mark a war point. Go into enemies and your arrested. The world is scary to a ten year old to me. World leaders don't care and are selfish. What now?
