By , About.com Guide

Many people suspect public officials withhold potentially panic-inducing information — or at least downplay the severity of the situation — during major health crises such as swine flu outbreak. Do you trust the government to keep us adequately informed? Why? Why not? Share Your Thoughts

ARE YOU KIDDING

THE CONGRESSMEN, SENATORS and ALL are beholding to many campaign contributors depending on who gave the mostest.

Gov. trust

The gov. has screwed up S.S., Illegals, Fanny Mae, Fanny Max, Acorn fraud, automatic pay raises for themselves annually (and "work" only 1/3 yr.), taxes, foreign diplomacy, Middle-East war, foreign trade, the banking industry, the auto industry. I DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT PERIOD!!!!
