How Much Trust Do You have in Politics and Government

If you follow the news you will see conflicting stories all the time , but the biggest thing I notice are in what many people post in the comment section . When it comes to politics or government I see a lot of distrust among the public in those areas. Are governments here and around the world to blame for this ? How do you feel about the resent turn of events around the latest politics ? Has the delays in the US to pass a balance budget created more problems in the world economy ? Whats your thoughts ?
