The government can decide to save jobs. 2.Money : The government can fix roads with their money. The government can support the schools with their money. The government can improve public places, like the oceanfront. 3.Knowledge: The government has people, who stuied to solve every kind of problem. The government knows, if we can afford to improve oceanfront. The government knows, what it needs to improve the oceanfront The government knows, how long it needs to improve the oceanfront. The government has to have the main responsibility, as it has more power than the one person. Because the government has the possabillty to change or make laws, which save and support the public. On top of that the government controls the police, which respons is to save the public. The government has also the power to save jobs. For example: If there is a business, which go broke, the government can give money to the business, so they have the opportunity to hold their employers. Next to the power, the government has more money than one person. With this money it can fix roads to make them safer, or they can support schools. The government of VA Beach decided to improve the oceanfront, to make it a nice places, where many people spend their vacation.

I want to stay at the example oceanfront VA Beach, to explain that the government also has more knowledge than one person. That is why, the government has a lot of people, who work for it. They can calcuate, how much money it costs to improve it, what kind of resources it needs and how long it will take to improve the oceanfront.

All in all the government has to have the control, because it has more power,more money and more knowledge than one person.
