What makes the US Govt trustworthy?

[bkholdem]

As some of you may know I converted to ACism not to long after coming to the politics forum and reading the posts and arguments of the prominent AC posters here. I did not trust the government then and I do not trust the government now.

As I have been expressing in the drug prohibition thread I recently started, this is an example of creating and carrying out a war on it's own people (under the guise of 'helping them').

I periodically read posts like "why don't you love it or leave it", etc.

What I want to know is why do you trust the US government? Why should I trust the US government? And please do not use ancient history, I want to know why government as it exists is trustworthy. I am curious if people can come up with convincing reasons.
