Four Out of Five

Today the Associated Press had this as a headline;
Poll: 4 out of 5 Americans don't trust Washington

WASHINGTON — America's "Great Compromiser" Henry Clay called government "the great trust," but most Americans today have little faith in Washington's ability to deal with the nation's problems.

Public confidence in government is at one of the lowest points in a half century, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say they don't trust the federal government and have little faith it can solve America's ills, the survey found.

The findings illustrate the ominous situation President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party face as they struggle to maintain their comfortable congressional majorities in this fall's elections. Midterm prospects are typically tough for the party in power. Add a toxic environment like this and lots of incumbent Democrats could be out of work.

Remember, our whole system is based on the "full faith and confidence in the U.S. Treasury."

What does it tell us if 80% are starting to lose faith?

What kind of message does this send to investors around the world upon which we are now reliant?

Wasn't it Jesus that said, "A kingdom divided will not stand."?
