“Trust me” government asks that we concentrate our hopes and dreams on one man; that we trust him to do what’s best for us.

The responsibility to live up to that trust is where it belongs, in their elected leaders. That kind of relationship, between the people and their elected leaders, is a special kind of compact.”
