These years, some of America’s famous national parks which were forced to close by the shutdown of the American federal government are going to re-open with the help of local governments’ funding. A large number of workers who used to work for these national park lost their jobs and the local government lost lots of travel revenue because of the close of the national parks. As a result, the GDP growth rate may decrease due to the less revenue and the society may be less peaceful due to the unemployment.

In order to solve this problem, the local states spent money funding those national parks. For example, the re-open Status of Liberty attracted thousands of visitors’ attentions which leads to a large amount of government revenue and the re-employment of the staffs. The revenue which the local states earned is much more than the funding they spent.

In my opinion, it is very wise for the local states to fund the re-open of national parks. Both the citizens and the government can benefit a lot from it.
