on a scale of 0-100... My answer would have to be 15...

Sure our government is pee'ing on my leg and is telling me its raining!

But I give a 15, as there are some good guys in our government.. Its not ALL evil and bad guys... We have maybe 15 people in our government who honestly care about their families. (Not your family, or my family.)

But there are a few good guys in our government.. Yet sadly enough.. The 95% of all government players are playing ball..
And most the time.. These guys HAVE to play ball.. As the upper levels have so much dirt on all these guys...
Shemales, young boys, mistresses, you name it.. They hold so much dirt over these guys, they will do their bidding!!! Thats the name of the game..

But over-all the government is soo FULL of it, that I do not trust them! Nor do I feel the bigger part of the members of our governments really care about us.. They care about saving their own skin.. making a good living..
And just play the game... ITs all a game to them.. And we are the pawns.

Its a sad state when I look and see that everyone here agrees on this subject.. Its clear to me, that me giving a 15 is being very generous!!!

Id give um a 0.. but I do know deep down we have a couple good guys..
But just not enough to do any real good...

On a scale of 0 to 100, how much do you think that arbitrary number scales are meaningful or informative?

I trust the government as a credible source of information, especially raw data like the census or BLS data, but I don't trust them to effectively implement policies.
