I'm not so sure considering the current administration.
- 0xfeba 10y agoWell, perhaps, but even the one thing we did trust them with (OPM data) all got pilfered away.
- user5994461 10y agoThe administration already has all these information. You're registered for taxes, healthcare, criminal background, etc. You're not hiding anything from them and you're not helping yourself by duplicating that to shady agencies.
- Super_Jambo 10y agoYou trust people who sell your info to spammers not to sell or even give it to the gov?
- oblio 10y agoI'd say that the two are connected. The US has a such an anti-government attitude that the Republican Party becomes the majority party instead of being laughed out of Congress. A party whose members frequently advocate cutting healthcare for the poor, reducing education budgets, scaling back environmental policies, etc.
- karmajunkie 10y agoIronically, the current administration is in power in no small part due to a constituency that doesn't trust the government. Self-fulfilling prophecies...
