Do you trust the government?

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I do. I went to public schools. Ive gotten government/ state health benefits. i was on welfare for a couple months. ive gotten pell grants. teh government cares about you. they work for our safety and security. i may not agree with every action they take but i think they would know better than me and probably have their good reasons for it. sure i might think if i was in charge we'd do this or that but i dont want the responsibility. call me lazy lol, but what power to have to alter their actions anyway? i mean sure if it meant enough to me i might get involved. but thats a beauty of out government. our voices can be heard when we want it to be.

The people should not be afraid of their government... the government should be afraid of the people.

In countries such as russia and china the people are afraid of their government.

@newjaninev2 My government is made up of my peers and fellow citizens who have good intentions for the most part. I dont understand why some people hate all their institions but claim they love their country.
