6.   What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the United States and how would you solve it?

Belle: I think the biggest problem in the United States is there is too much violence in the United States. Every time I turn on the news, there is always death involved and gangs. I would try to solve it by teaching kids at a young age that violence never solves anything and you should be respectful of everyone even though they may be different from you.

Samantha: The deficit is growing, and we need to stop spending the money we don’t have!
