When Republican members of Congress like Chuck Grassley lie to constituents about how they ought to fear health care reform because it will pull the plug on grandma - of course people will ultimately mistrust government.

6. I had a career in social serivces |

It had its ups and downs but I liked it a lot and am now enjoying a pension that's secured by our state's constitution. I'd say that trusting the government worked out well for me and my husband, too.
