The US government is honest?

The govt. is too big to be categorized as you suggest. It contains some honest people and some no-goodniks. It's left hand never knows what its right hand is doing. Same goes for its up hand and down hand, its pink hand and blue hand, its spin hand and its antispin hand... get the picture...?

If the Federal Government was a human being, we would have to categorize it as insane; definite Dissociative Identity Disorder, definite paranoia, possible schizophrenia. (Note that this last is NOT the same as DID.)

I doubt very much you were around when Washington, Jefferson Adams and Lincoln were president, so I have to disagree

The last honest president was Jimmy Carter and the one before him, JFK!

The difference between the past decade or so is they used to steal behind our backs, now they do it in front of us and dare us to do anything about it!

the odd thing is... I see people on this question that say "the government is lying to us"... but then they are the ones that still defend Bush in other questions, when the only evidence Bush uses to support his actions is to say "trust me"?

It's like they think all politicians are bad except for Bush... well they are almost right... just one off...

You could make a prison out of Washington D.C. There would be more guilty people in that prison than in any prison in the United State of American. These folks are the "Scum of the Earth".

Even my great-gram born in about 1900 said that politicians and government are corrupt.

Never trust a polititian. Actually, you can't trust anyone anymore, we're all currupt.

Thats why most of us know that Bush and his cronies are a bunch of crooks. It takes one to know one. We are really being trained well now.

Both parties are caught up in greed and corruption then lies to cover their tracks.

you can't find a honest government in the world

That is strickley a myth!It doesn't happen in the real world!

lol

the only thing I find honest with the goverment is only when their lips are NOT moving
