Confidence In Government Has Collapsed 75% In The Last Forty Years While The Status Quo Remains In Their Deluded Bubble For Now.
We can see on this graphic that there were a few blips upward but the overall trend has been down for decades. The mainstream media and many leftist political ideologues wants us to believe it is only fringe kooks who don't trust the government. Preposterous. This is not an issue that can be defined by extremists or political ideology. This transcends issues of morality for the majority of the people in the United States. We the People are now too informed to be duped by the mainstream media or politicians.
The American economy peaked somewhere between 1980 and 1990 so these polls track quite closely with fundamentals. We see a blip in the late 1990s due to President Clinton's policy decisions which stoked the illusion of wealth which led to the criminally-induced Wall Street technology bubble. (Where was the prosecution for that massive theft?) The technology bubble was a massive lie that had almost nothing to do with underlying economic fundamentals or real innovation. Wall Street truly did bamboozle Americans in that scam. Then a short bout of nationalism following the terrorist attacks on 9/11 where we saw confidence roar to an astounding 40%. Other than that, Americans of all walks of life haven't trusted our government for a long, long time. And that is as it should be. When the government works as public servants on behalf of the American people, we can trust our government.
All of these Washington proclamations of health care reform, financial reform, ending wars, helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, fixing the economy and on and on and on are simply more lies galvanizing the American people's views. It's doublespeak meant to convince Americans that the Washington political boobs are on the job while they simply give us more of the same con jobs.
The American people are substantially smarter than our political idiots or mainstream media give us credit for. And that will ultimately be the demise of this massive corruption bubble in Washington.
