In recent years ditrust of the government has been on the rise for many reasons. The government has not been solving the countries problems, nor have they been honest about their mistakes. They've either been to much about the government, or too much about the individual, neither has presented a middle road solution, Democrates or Republicans. This is another part of the problem, too much bipartisin arguments, both sides are to busy arguing with each other to get anything down, as well as with the Democratic party, sadly enough now, is fighting with in its self causing even more lag in passing legislation. However some feel that american distrust in their government has always been there. If you look at our nations history its understandable and quite frankly easy to see. Also how our government is set up, how everyone must agree, or everyone must be a part of the final desicion, conflicting beliefs will always stall the workings of government. However this distrust must take ease at some point before it gets out of hand, before less and less people actually participate in there government. Lastly the distrust comes from, atleast in recent years, the past presidency of Bush Jr. and now the newly instated legislation of the Obama administration.
Honestly if its come to this, personally i believe we need a strong third party, the democrates and republicans have been around for a long time, we may need some newer blood, not just new people in these parties. However as much the government screws up, really they are all still human, there is a sense of problematics when thinking of people governing the people. However just as well, there truely always will be distrust in our government no matter what it does. There will always be problems and disputes, for its been said "If men were angels government wouldn't be needed"
