Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Government?

Might be a stupid thread, feel free to blast away if so... I was having a pretty good political conversation with friends the other day, and halfway through making a point came to the realization that I really don't believe in our government in any meaningful way at this point in my life.

Whether it's debt related corruption, social issues or war... I find it hard to get myself too worked up or surprised any more because I simply expect the worst, most self-serving systemic behavior on any given issue.

Haven't thought this out thoroughly enough to make a cogent argument...
Still, I'm curious, anyone finding themselves with zero faith in our process?
