Americans do not have tremendous respect for the honesty and ethical standards of car salesmen or journalists, but they still give people in these professions a higher rating for these characteristics than they give to members of Congress.

You expect your money to be safe in a bank, but if the Federal Reserve gets its way, that may not be the case soon.
