OK. I think that a lot of the bad feelings in the USA about the government 
falls along the lines of "the supreme court elected bush, not the people", 
or "corporations bribe the politicians", or that they're only interested in 
how much money and power they can get and not in doing the job, stuff like 
that. I.e., the politicians aren't doing what they were elected to do, so it 
doesn't really matter who you elected. They're working for the greedy folks 
who are taking your money and health.

I just wondered if this was just an exaggerated view of what others also 
experience, or if my memories from decades ago thinking the government while 
perhaps misguided was at least trying were due to me not following politics 
as much.
