Why do you think so many people have lost trust in our government?

I am one of those people. I am sick of seeing pompous over paid self righteous money hungry jerks in office. none of them really care about "the people" they just want to look good enough to get re-elected and then screw up the economy send our family members to war zones not even caring if we should be involved in whats going on where our soldiers die every day. Mind you i was in the military and I highly respect those who serve and how hard they work to protect us. I do not respect the idea of having presidents who have never served in the military and have no clue of why it functions as it does (actually in most cases doesnt have a clue of chain of command much less how to use it properly). I mean seriously why isnt it part of the prerequisite to have served in the military,actually had to work hard to get where one is in life and understand how to fix issues as well as to LISTEN. It no longer seems to be about votes or what this country needs, much less what the citizens want or need. It has become a "rich kids" monopoly game in which the rules include deception,lying,hiding the facts by playing wag the dog on the side,and finding new ways to remove actual freedoms of which this nation was established. I am not saying by any means that my ideas are the only okay ones that exist ..simply that I really wish people would wake up and pay attention to what is going on instead of simply voting by what is said in the candidacy and who they think they can tolerate seeing on television for the next term, or of the worst .. " I voted for this person because i want to be able to say I was a part of major history" FUCKING SERIOUSLY??? Wow just WOW.............
