Quotes-start.png "The vast majority of Americans have lost confidence in their government and their institutions, and they simply don't trust anybody in authority to do anything right or honest. The vacuum of leadership can't be filled by warnings that everything will get worse unless you say "aye" and open your wallets again. Our leaders have cried wolf too often. Even when the wolf is really there, as it is now, nobody believes or trusts them." Quotes-end.png
