    Wink Americans hate the federal government now more than ever



    If you have to deal with the federal government — be it the seemingly innocuous Social Security Administration or the eternally-despised Treasury Department, home to the IRS — prepare to be even more annoyed than in the past.

    According to a report released Tuesday by the American Customer Satisfaction Index http://www.theacsi.org/news-and-reso...nt-report-2014, our satisfaction with the federal government has hit an all-time low (at least since the company began collecting data for this index in 2007). The federal government now scores a 64.4 out of 100 in terms of satisfaction (the average across all industries is 75 out 100). This is the lowest score across the 40 different industries – including industries like airlines, cable companies and others — that the ACSI measures, with the exception of Internet service providers.

    Way too high. Try 12%.
    1776 > 1984

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an     Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    The public opinion poll:

    Serves as propaganda and a replacement for voting in our representative bureaucracy.

    The article talks a lot about "customer service."

    But "customers" are supposed to be people who are able to take their business elsewhere if they don't like the "service" they are getting ...

    It'll be OK once the GOP is in the Oval Office and they talk about all the programs and taxes they want to cut.

    sure, they hate them, but keep paying them, keep sucking em off anyway.

    Let me know when they have let go of the hate and have decided to do something about it.
    "One thing my years in Washington taught me is that most politicians are followers, not leaders. Therefore we should not waste time and resources trying to educate politicians. Politicians will not support individual liberty and limited government unless and until they are forced to do so by the people," says Ron Paul."
