I was a guy who trusted the government. Now, I don't trust a damn thing they do.

Public trust in both government and corporations is low, and deservedly so.

Right here at home, we have seen what happens when a politician breaks that public trust, when they are dishonest and corrupt.

I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.

The essence of good government is trust.

All political power is a trust.

I trust the individual over the bureaucracy.

Betrayal does so many different things to people.

People's trust in their public institutions depends on their government getting results.

Anyone who believes in the essential role government can play in improving people's lives must also be the toughest critics of those who abuse the public trust.
