The efficiency of a government

The efficiency of a government determines the future of a country. For evaluating how well we did we can compare with what the other government such as China did in the same period. This is the reason I write this article.
Before once a while we could hear some sad news from China. Such as patients died in a hospital because they were unable to pay medical fee for the treatment; parents sold blood to pay tuition for their children; people committee suicide for they didn’t get paid from their boss for many months; people killed themselves for they were forced to move by estate developers. Those are basic conflicts that impressed people in China. See how Chinese government solved the problems in the last two years.

Government covers health insurance for 1.2 billion Chinese.
Government provides 9 years free education for children. 150 million people are benefited every year.
Set up new laws mandatory businesses direct deposit wages to workers’ bank account. Penalty for late payments go up to thirty thousand dollars. Government set up insurance fund to take care of the workers when their bosses run away.

Real Estate developers have no right to tell people to move. Compensation amount will be decides by the court.

In Tian Jing City government set up a five year plan. 35% of new housing will be provided to low income families. By the end of 2015 there will be 830 thousand families will be benefited by government’s housing plan.

Government waved agriculture tax. Direct deposit fertilizer fee to peasant’s accounts and encourage them developing agriculture.

More retirement homes are built up. Right now people can pay 10,000 U.S dollars to keep the lifelong living right for a room in senior homes. Paying $300 us dollars they can have people cook and clean up for them. My friend’s father was so happy there and told his children don’t bother to visit him.

For stopping sands storm Beijing city government spent 3.3 billion RBM to plant 6 million acres wood and grass that cover 71% of the land near Beijing. For four years Beijing has not been attacked by sand storm.

Just in one day’s reports ( Dec, 14 2010) we can see jobs done by governments in China list as below.
Up to 2009 there is about 36% medical utilities are run by private companies. In the future they will encourage private companies to provide medical service.
Starting from Jan, 2010 government gives allowance to orphans.
In Dec, 2010, government signed 15 agreement with Chinese High Tech companies that worth about 21 billion RBM
In 2010, fifty-six big temples in Tibet have being renovated.
In the last 300 days, Chinese Navy had protected 3000 ship from all over the world and made sure they passing through sea safely near Somalia.
A system for measuring the quality of air starts it operation from Dec, 2010. There are 2000 observation centers in all over the countries. One hundred thirteen cities will have report about air’s quality in every hour.
In the mountain of Lu, a famous travel area, 10 thousand chimneys have been taken down in 2010. Four thousand families and 95% of hotels stop using coal. People who use gas get allowance from the government. Government spent 270 million RBM to renew transportation system over there and build up two factories to treat the used water.

A project starts its operation in Shang Hai. It provides 50% of drinking water of Shai Hai City and benefits about 10 million people. The water is from Yang Zhi River and is being purified. Meanwhile Tian Jing City invests 6.18 billion RBM to build up a system that helps saving water and retreat the used water. China is short of water and government deal with the problem before things getting worse.

In 2010 Chinese production of grain is 5.464 trillion tones. Its amount is increased 2.9% compare with 2009.Its planting area increase for .08% and its unite production increase 5%.

Chinese high speed rail reach 486 kilometer per hour. In 1997 they only had 4700 kilometers high way. Today their high way are 74,000 kilometers and in two years they are going to meet the goal of one hundred thousand kilometers, high way that America has.

When we evaluate a government we should base on what it did for his people but not only base on how much the government let its people say. If they don’t care about what I said it just like they let me say nothing. I don’t mean Chinese system is better than system that the United States has. The problems they are solving have been solved by us many years ago. We have enough grain. Our air and water are clean; our hospitals never reject patients; our people get unemployment aid and our poor people get public assistance. Our welfare system is much better than theirs.

Unfortunately we are facing new problem and that is we don’t have funds to maintain our benefit any more. We are not only short of fund we have huge debt. We still don’t realize the serious consequence of our social security system going bankrupt.

For solving the problem we need our government to show its efficiency and we don’t see any of it. In the New Year eve of 2011 they tell us that economic is recovering. In the United State people who get paid by government’s funding are the sum of people who work for construction and manufacture field. However, all our state governments have budget deficit and their debt go up to two trillion dollars. When our tax income is reduced how can we turn around? Still we are doing nothing to release the pressure. We simply hope our free economic system can make an adjustment automatically and create miracle over night. We don’t have the concept about government’s efficiency. Our government has no function or plays a wrong function in such a crucial time. That is the most horrible thing American facing.
Happy new year to all of my readers! 12/31/2010 7PM
