Comment: The Government got us into this mess. Why would we ever believe they could cure it. we just allow them to get us deeper and deeper in debt. A new congress may indeed be the only way out. The one that is in there now, certainly can not be trusted. Personally, I do not like this "CHANGE". Our President has started us on a downward spiral. Congress went along. Out with them. from Pensacola, Fl by Franklin
Comment: The government solving problems?! It's a twisted and perverted government that has CAUSED the vast majority of this country's problems.

Comment: How can you trust what is and has created the problem. Starting with a "welfare cadillac president" And all the "hands out pat on the back -pocket change jingling asswipes" that are in for a short uneducated ride on the Obama Pimp Mobile. If it was not for so much unemployment ( double digits) the Pimp Mobile Owner would not have a platform.Oh , Im sorry he does...how bout those double digit Florida unemployement figures and have to borrow from the "get along gang" goverment who set that fire to get folks through the worst president in history. ALL WASHINGTON DOOKIE BIRDS AT THE TABLE INCLUDED! from Pensacola,FL by Flower

Comment: I think is crazy. from pensacola by seth
Comment: It is interesting that this question was not asked during the past 10 years, when the economic, military and social problems were created by that administration. Now that we have a president willing to own up to the big problems we face, the question is asked. from pace, fl by robert
Comment: We all need to join the "POP", p****d off party. Vote for anyone as long as its not an incumbent. from Milton by Joyce

Comment: I DO NOT trust the government.On page 1097 of the "NEW" healthcare bill It states that president Obama will have a 6000 man body gaurd system.How much money wasted?I thought that's what we have the C.I.A. and F.B.I. for.governments waste money.period. from crestview fl. by lisa
Comment: Small government is the key to Americas success. from Dallas/Texas by Rock
Comment: Social Security is about out of money . Medicare is losing money. If the government was a business it would file chapter 11. Lets stop spending money on roads and save some money to pay off future debt. from Pensacola,FL by Jphn
Comment: Thomas Jefferson once said, "The government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything away." He was right then, and it's more right today. The Constitution grants the federal government very limited and explicit powers. And the 10th Amendment says those powers not granted to the federal government are reserved to the states, and the people, respectively. Somewhere along the road, we lost our way. from Pensacola, FL by Joe
Comment: If anything the government "intervention" has only prolonged the inevatable. Not to mention billions of "borrowed" taxpayer thrown down a rat hole. As a country we would of benn better off if the government had taken all that infusion and divided it equally among the population. from Milton/Florida by Jason
Comment: I trust the government much more than I trust the private financial markets, Wall Street and the Big Banks who got themselves and the whole country into trouble and had to be bailed out with our tax dollars. The recession would have been much worse if the government hadn't bailed them out, but now they want to continue the same reckless behavior that made them go belly-up in 2008. The government MUST get stringent regulation in place to keep them from getting into trouble and endangering the whole economy again. from Mobile, AL by Joyce
Comment: No! The politicians in Washington - and more to the point, the bureaucrats in the multiplying government agencies, do not know or care about Pensacola, Escambia or Santa Rosa, or Florida, other than our Representative and one of our Senators. Why should we send our funds to Washington so they can decide how much to return to us? Let's use the money here to solve our problems here - and get ourselves out of the last century! from Pensacola / FL by Rick
Comment: I believe the government will ruin and bankrupt this country. I just wish the people had the courage and strength to take our country back, peacefully. from Cantonment, Florida by Crystal
Comment: I trust my country, but I do not trust my Government. God Bless the USA. from Fairhope, AL by Larry
