Should we Talk About the Government?

Nineteen percent. According to the latest numbers from Pew, that’s how many Americans “say they can trust the government always or most of the time.” And a majority of people believe that “ordinary Americans” could do a better job of managing the nation’s problems. (I’d be satisfied if ordinary Americans would let people get out of the elevator before they started walking into it.) Lots of interesting stuff in the Pew report: Beyond Distrust.
