As trust in government erodes, Obama’s plans evaporate

The Washington Post reports:

When President Obama was reelected to his second term in November 2012, his supporters were vocal about wanting a larger, more activist government. Seven months later, it’s fair to say those who don’t want to see the government reach further into our lives — or for that matter, don’t want much of anything to happen in Washington and who are usually identified as belonging to the Republican Party — are stronger today than they were on Inauguration Day in 2013.
