The economic crisis in Western countries is worrisome to adults. If married they worry one or both of them may lose their job (especially the father of the household); struggling to meet bills; keep paying the mortgage or, if they own the house paying taxes on their home and property; trying to give their children a decent education; health care is expensive especially in the United States and these strains can cause some families to argue to the point of breaking the family unity apart often ending in divorce or at least spousal abuse in some cases, not to mention sometimes addiction to alcohol; gambling or drugs. If a single young adult the future can seem bleak and even with a good education jobs can be scarce depending on where they live or they may not have the money to further their education. They also may have to pay high rents; have utility; phone and cable bills and health care and try to keep whatever contents and properties they may have which can often lead to credit card debt.

The best economic system for the Philippines is it's current system.The contrasting economic systems either lets the government decide everything or private companies. It is obvious that letting the Philippine government complete control of everything would be stupid, since corruption will become impossible to stop. Allowing private companies to decide everything would also be unintelligible, since human rights violations would become even more rampant than it is now.The Philippines current economic system is a mix of the two contrasting. The government decides alongside private companies. At first, one would assume that this would be bad, combining the unstoppable corruption with the rampant abuse of human rights. The thing is, though, the two parties, the government and the private companies, balance each other out. For example, if the government tries to squeeze a bribe out of a certain company through unsavory means, the company tries to get out of it through other unsavory means. When the company tries to abuse its employees or some other human rights violation, the government will then come down on it, asking for a bribe. Basically, both their greeds counteract the other.That is why the best economic system is it's current system.p.s.this is all bs :D
