“There’s no follow-up to the jaw-dropping assertion that only 13 percent of US citizens believe government ‘can be trusted’ to do the right thing. These are not normal numbers. These are Soviet Union style numbers. Or numbers that might have generated from a poll of Chinese during the depth of the starvation generated by Mao’s ruinous Great Leap Forward. For the longest time, we’ve been told that the horrible numbers associated with US Congress – confidence is reportedly in the single digits now – must be tempered by people’s affection for their OWN congress-people. But if these larger numbers are to be believed, then the lack of support for Congress must be a fairly accurate assessment.”
