The government provides the money for the states to rebuild streets and bridges. Our state does not have the money to rebuild some of the roads or fix the pot holes in them. They also provide the money for the welfare programs and for those who live under the poverty line. Most of these families don't get the to eat three meals a day, especially depending on how many family members there are. The government also uses the taxpayers money to pay for public programs like building parks and basketball courts, or other recreational facilities. Some areas are less fortunate and don't have any near their neighborhood.
