8 in 10 Americans don't trust the federal government.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say they don't trust the federal government and have little faith it can solve America's ills, the survey found.  Who are the 2 in 10 that do trust them?

 

So why did we ever trust the federal government to “manage things” for us?  The federal government (under both Republican and Democratic leadership) has always been wasteful, inefficient and self-serving.  Then why do we ask the government for “help” anymore?  More of us are saying “Please don’t help us; just leave us alone.”

 

Americans are increasingly determined to help themselves by creating their own jobs, managing their own health care, managing their own salt intake and managing their own children’s education.

 

If in doubt leave the government out!
