Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
Look, all administrations, all governments lie, all officials lie and nothing they say is to be believed. That's a pretty good rule.
Governments are supposed to lie to their citizens.
Politicians often lie.
To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.
Most governments lie to each other. That's the way business gets done.
I don't think people maybe think that the government does tell them the truth. I think they expect politicians who are going to tell them one thing and then when they get in office do something else.
In politics, not all lies are all lies. And not all truths are complete.
Until we totally change the way we elect our leaders, until we remove private money from public campaigns, lying will be the de facto method of governance in this country.
People are entitled to believe the government is constantly lying to them, but it isn't.
