| I do not trust them, and haven't for a long time. I happen to strongly believe in the old saying "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me TWICE, shame on ME"
If our government was a single person, he would be classified as a pathalogical liar. If you could list all the mini-scandals over government lies going back only 30 or so years, you'd have a small encyclopedia.
I have unfortunately become so used to being lied to that I don't believe anything from the government, to the point that I feel badly for the occasional honest politician with integrity who tries to convince us he is telling the truth.
What I need is a period of time where NO lies emanate from the government before I can believe anything.
Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |
