The Most Important Problem Facing The Country? It’s The Government Stupid!

By Royal A. Brown III

Yes! Why? Because there’s nothing being done about rampant inflation (Republicans have helped by approving too much spending including Ukraine handouts including our local U.S. House member Franklin, Sens Rubio and Scott, & other FL Republican Congresspersons); illegal immigration (again only a few Republicans actually speak out against or do anything about the invasion of illegals including terrorists, criminals (rapists, human traffickers, drug dealers, murderers etc.) nor the loss of wealth for the middle class as 401Ks continue to plummet. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is an exception.

So when they say Government is the problem, it is not just the Marxist Democrats at fault. We’ll see what Republicans do when they take back Congress. Will we have real retribution/change or just another Turtle/Ryan led do nothing Congress?

Even when Trump had a Republican Congress the only thing they accomplished was Tax Reform which was not made permanent.

Americans identify ‘the most important problem facing the country’

None of 3 branches of government trusted by a majority of citizens

A new poll shows there is not a majority of the American people that trusts the nation’s judicial branch.

Nor does a majority trust the executive branch.

And those who trust the legislation branch – do not make up a majority either.

A new polling from Gallup cites the continuing distrust Americans feel for their government, a trust that has been falling even further.

“The latest decline in Americans’ trust in the judicial branch of the federal government — to 47% — means this is the first time that none of the three branches is trusted by a majority of Americans. The average level of trust in the three branches is 43% this year, tying 2015 as the lowest in Gallup’s history,” the poll analysis said. “That year marked the previous low in trust in the judicial branch (53%); trust in the legislative branch (32%) was lower than it is now, while trust in the executive branch (45%) was similar to what it is today.”

The polling reported, “Americans continue to name the government as the most important problem facing the country as leaders in Washington struggle to find solutions to address inflation, illegal immigration, climate change and gun violence.”

Why is this?

“The erosion of trust is largely due to increasingly partisan evaluations of government institutions at a time when politics has become all-important. Republicans and Democrats are inclined to trust institutions when they are controlled by leaders they agree with but withhold trust when leaders don’t make decisions in line with their own political views or policy preferences. In a democratic society, Americans would ideally retain trust in their government institutions regardless of which party is in control, provided those leaders put the nation’s interests first and follow the Constitution, laws, procedures and norms that govern the operation of those institutions,” the report said.
