The polls are saying so and in the news lately telling us that government does not work for the people. It was the subject on WWL talk radio just recently. But those polls do not tell the full story nor do the people who participate in those polls. The polls are also a contradiction because there is no government if there are no people, for governments are made up of people.
The people who find fault with government are the same ones who vote and reelect the same people over and over again who run government. Governments can be good or bad depending on the people who run government. But the polls and the people who participate in them never cross that bridge. To them, government is some kind of mythical organization that is just there and something to blame.
This writer believes we have the type of government we have because enough people are just not informed on the issues, really don't care to be and are willing to believe any thing they hear. They just know that government is to blame and that the same people they vote for over and over do not contribute to government's lack of accomplishments.
The news media plays a role in this myth buy allowing their polls to be sound bites. The poll questions never reflect the full story of the issue being polled. Do the people and the news media realize and understand when an elected official blames the government for not working and being broken he is actually speaking about his own failure to make government work.
Blaming the government is a cop out and excuse for not taking the time in the first place to be up to date on the issues before one votes. Knowing the facts and voting accordingly is the best chance for good government, success and accomplishments that are necessary for the country and its people.
Blame has never solved a problem.

President Trump: In Another About Face, Wants The Military To Pay For His WALL.
The trumpet man stuck it to his supporters once again. After two years of promise that Mexico would pay for his border WALL, the President now says the military should do so because they are rich following the latest spending bill that gave the military a large spending increase. Mexico won the battle of truth telling when they told Trump Mexico would not pay for his WALL. It comes at a time when Trump's supporters said they support him because he keeps his campaign promises.
The WALL was never a real issue until Trump made it one during the campaign. He did so to obtain votes and tried to use it coupled with immigration reform. But we also know that immigration reform is not a Trump priority because he has no immigration reform plan before congress and cancelled DACA with out a plan to replace it, so their is no Presidential leadership on immigration reform or the WALL, only rhetoric for his base.
If the WALL was really important in Trump's plans he would have campaigned on it with the U.S. building and paying for the WALL like he campaigned on increasing military spending. It was a set up for his base and the anti-immigration movement. In other words, it was a sucker punch for voters. Like other republicans, Trump played their game, then left them hanging.
The same thing took place with Trump and the republicans health care schemes to replace the ACA with their plans which was going to be a better health care plan. The CBO said other wise and both health care schemes failed to pass. American continues to be leaderless even on the issues Trump promotes because of his corrupt attitude. And the trumpet man still can not do the one elementary act that all Presidents do, make his tax returns public for the people to see.
Food for thought: Trump says the WALL is a matter of national security. If that is so why would we leave our national security up to Mexico. Common sense tells this writer America has to take care of its own national security.
