WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans lack confidence in the government's ability to protect their personal safety and economic security, a sign that their widespread unease about the state of the nation extends far beyond politics, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll.
With Election Day about a month away, more than half those in the survey said Washington can do little to effectively lessen threats such as climate change, mass shootings, racial tensions, economic uncertainty and an unstable job market.

Protect us? Hell....unless you're a transgender/transsexual/homosexual, an illegal immigrant from who cares where, and/or a cc Democrat-voting leftist....it would seem that THIS government is out to get us. Seriously.

Can They protect us? Not as long as they have open borders to everyone. It will have just the opposite affect.
