Back to 2012, Nationalreview published the critique of Michael Tanner, named "Because Angels don't govern us", talked about the US government governs the society.
Michael Tanner is the Senior Fellow in Cato Institute, a book author, researches into a variety of domestic policies, with an emphasis on poverty and social welfare policy, health care, and Social Security and entitlement reform.
In 2012, he posted his criticism on blog National review about what he thinks about how the US government governs us. In this article, the US government always believed that they always thought that they were the right one and anything they did, any policy they promulgated was good for the people in this society.
Let’s recall what happened in 2012. In 2012, the president was Barack Obama and the popular event happened that Obama conducted the health insurance obligation to every people, because “the Obama administration believes that the government should run our health-care system”. Do you think everyone agrees to comply with that policy? They have to and have to comply with it, it doesn’t matter they like it or they don’t. What if they didn’t follow the healthcare policy? They would get a penalty from their tax return annually.
According to Michael, he wondered that instead of being micromanagement system, why the government didn’t concern and solve the GSA or Secret Service scandals, looked through the bigger picture about economic issues or financial banking industry, housing market. They showed us that they were like the rest of us, affected by failures and corruptions. Michael also pointed out that if the individual made mistakes, these mistakes just impacted to that individual. The business made mistakes, the business would take that responsibility. But if the US government made mistakes, all of us would be affected and all of us would be the one who took that responsibility with them.
Michael also recalled what the Founding Father had understood the citizens, that’s why they insisted that “the government is necessary to protect our rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and they wrote the Declaration of Independence”. However, the current US government were doing different things.
Michael named the title of this article “Because Angels don’t govern us”, but he believed that the US government really governs us and overreach the power. So, according to Michael, what do you think that who did the US government represent?

Critique an editorial/ commentary from national newspaper
On February 27th, 2019, Washingtonpost published the article about "Kellyanne Conway says House Republicians failed Trumps of border wall funding" by John Wagner.
First, let get to know Kellyanne Conway. Kellyanne Conway is an American pollster, political consultant and current is the White House counselor for US President Donald Trump. The reason for this news is due to the opposing to the border wall of Trump by the House Republicans. According to Kellyanne, she supports the border wall of President Trump because of two appropriate reasons from Trump. First, this is his “solemn duty” to secure the US border. Second, “the president waited for Congress to do its job”. Therefore, Kellyanne thinks the border wall should be supported by Congress and they should accept the fund. But as we know, Congress didn’t accept this idea, didn’t approve for a huge fund and created a shutdown for 35 days. Kellyanne thinks this should be a part of the House Republicans's responsibility. Wagner, the author wrote, “She sharply criticized that House Republicans for failing to deliver sufficient border wall funding to President Trump when they controlled the chamber and cited that as a justification for his emergency declaration”. Moreover, she insisted that Congress is failing to do their job to support President Trump.
On Washingtonpost.com on Jan 11, it published the article named “American don’t want Trump’s border wall”. In this article, they showed us why American don’t want the border wall. It is huge money and this source is coming from American’s contribution. Initially, Trump insists on getting around $6 billions for building the wall and then the fund amount just keeps raising more and more. In order to come up with this article, they did the survey. If they gather 10 people to vote for the border wall, 4/10 of them will vote for building the border wall because they are persuaded by the counterargument. It means the majority of American don’t want this wall. According to most of the American, they think there are lots of ways to manage the legal immigration by limiting to provide visa, by creating strictly law for immigration employment and so on more than spending huge money just for the wall.
In general, there are too many ways for illegal immigration happened, not only by crossing the US border. Moreover, most American doesn’t oppose immigration. Therefore, Congress or House Republicans don’t support Trump because they are not working for Trump, they work for American. And I, really disagree with what Kellyanne said.
