Show of Hands

Our agencies are efficient and effective. Too funny.

They fail at everything they try... They can't keep drugs out of prison, the "war on poverty" produced more poverty, the FDA holds back good drugs, and forces people to take bad ones,

OSHA claims credit for a reduction in workplace injuries that were falling at exactly the same rate as before. No government agency saw the crash of 2008 coming. The Department of Education has shown no measurable results since it's creation in 1979.

The Department of Indian Affairs misplaced $2 billion. Medicare has led to higher costs of care for seniors. 30,000+ people die on government roads each year. Government housing projects are overrun with crime. That's not effective, or efficient.

It is really easy to make a list whenever the government fails, especially, if you are predisposed to assume the government always fails. The stuff that goes right usually gets taken for granted, that is why it goes unnoticed.

What a complete load of horse crap. The federal govt is bloated, corrupt, wasteful and inept and everyone knows it.

Your preconceived notions regarding the federal government, is the result of spending to much time in the conservative echo chamber, receiving only information that conforms with your beliefs. Our agencies, do the best with what they have...

Most are wholly underfunded in comparison to the vast responsibilities that congress puts upon them. Most of the time, any incompetence can traced squarely in the hands of congress.

His reply, hence my disdain for most professors.

Ill have you know dr.R that what he said is simply true, the government is liberal/conservative is just your take on what policies would fix us, its been bought and paid for, they suck because their agenda is cash

Because some people think that one party or the othet represents them.

your exactly right, and its because nobody wants to step up and do anything about it.

We haven't been giving them power, they've been taking it. No one can stop them because as they say, you can't fight city hall.

Vote for a name you don't recognize .

Though I still like Obama and think he has done what I voted for him to do. It's just all the drone attacks and spying just reminds me of the Bush administration 2.0

Don't forget about all the data mining his groups have done on people for political reasons.

His mind was made up by the lobbyists long before 2008. He's taken huge amounts of money from the same Wall St. firms he later bailed out, tortured whistleblowers, and let the Pharmaceutical companies write Obamacare.

Youd be surprised how much terrible shit obama has done, he folds to the conservatives every single time, he fucking sucks if he'a actually trying to negotiate

Great, but the vast majority of them are local government employees. The vast majority of federal employees are power hungry bureaucrats - who are by no means trying to help out.

@ Nuwriter you live in a very dark place.
In your thinking everyone is bad even yourself.

Wow. You sound SOOO intelligent with that line.

So, do you mean that as a sincere question, or are you just throwing it out into space to make dumb, heavy-handed insinuations like a Fox News pundit?

I voted yes and I do not

Curious as to how objective the "trust" answers are. The fed govt clearly buys support with taxpayer money. Hell, the State adept was just found to have spent a small fortune to increase its "like" numbers on Facebook...

Both sides are easy to predict.
That is why they are on different sides.

For the same reason I can predict the liberal sheep's response to the same degree of accuracy. It's easy..... The opposite of anything good, ethical, patriotic, traditional and Godly is the way the anti freedom liberals vote. MOST of the time.

Liberals are the opposite of anything Godly?? I am a liberal democrat and a Christian. Jesus said feed the hungry, heal the sick. Those are the programs you try to abolish. That's more anti Christian than us.

The difference is that liberals demand government to confiscate and redistribute wealth to fund charity. Conservatives probably give ten fold more to the poor than the feel good liberals. We do it on our own, not by cowering to government force.

Half the Democrats disagree with you

Still only 25% of the soh population

I totally agree with you. The political class do not represent the citizens. They are dysfunctional and all should be replaced. Ivy League educated lawyers have done more to damage this country than anything else.

Yes, but tibia the responsibility of us, the voting public.

Yet time after time we send the same people back into power, I don't get it.

Yet time after time we send the same people back into power, I don't get it.

Hmmm. Daleks, Cybermen.... no problem. US bureaucrats.... he's hopping back in his blue box and running.

Typical lib moron statement. The dens have done far more damage than the reps, though both are to blame.

What a BS retort "chance". Republicans have ruined our country domestically, internationally, financially, and militarily. Liberals would save our country if conservative/Libertarian obstructionists would get out the way.

Obama had the house and the senate. Why didn't he fix things? Why didn't he keep his promises.

Liberals WANT to destroy the country and rebuild it. Yet every effort they've made has failed. Why would anyone trust them?

And they care more about reelection than actually doing the peoples work.

You mean how Washington ordered the nation not to become partisan in his Farewell Address?

No, I mean how GW spent 7% of us budget on brandy while he was president and lied about a rebellion in Haiti

Wow...you use the term "partisan hacks" when you in fact are one yourself.

Get the hell off these forums, you hypocrite.

You do know GW is George WASHINGTON right?

Because Obama didn't invade a country on the basis of bullsht

He invaded 'Mercia cuz he is a turrists and he wants to ban everything freedom ensues. I know this is right cuz Fox News told me it was right. Yuh damn liberal.

LMAO!!!!

Because of party politics.

Bystanders are never innocent, but more importantly, what are YOU doing to stop it?

^and that

Is why I'm independent. I won't just follow a party because they're "my" candidate. If the person I right for the job, and has an effective way of running things, that's who I'll vote for.

Exactly, and why I am also an independent.

I think that's a uniquely liberal thing. The TEA party came about in opposition to Bush's spending. The conservative base stayed home on Election Day 2012 because the only candidates offered were both too liberal.

I'm sorry, but that applies how?

Apparently you have no understanding of statics and are spouting nonsense.

I never studied statics. Took physics, though.

They DO have the silly idea that he's for the little guy. Meanwhile, he gives big tax breaks to corporations and spends their hard-earned tax money like a king. What saps.

Wow - so Obama is the government?

Obama is the leader of the government machine. Don't underestimate his power.

Exactly, and we have over 11,000 currently.

When has a republican president NOT grown the government?

Calvin coolage left office with a smaller government than he started with.

LOL. If you have to reach back to the 1920s then you've proven my point. Small government politicians do not exist in America. Even the ones that preach that sht change whenever they're elected

it's not really "more gov" it's more we need help. gov is irrelevant as long as there's a steady flow of aid. it just happens gov is the one who gives this aid. if reps say we're willing to share aid through working instead of "self" mentality who knows. not all dems are bums, just fallen souls.

Uuum...yeah!..what he said!!!

God bless 'merica!

Jeeze les, for a minute there I thought u were typing in a foreign language.... Lol

Those.

That is one scary list of acronyms.

All controlled by Big Brother.

That IS big brother

WE THE PEOPLE. I don't trust those that pass bills into laws that haven't been read. I don't trust those that trample over the Constitution of the United States of America for our safety.... The power and trust is in the people not the government.
