POLL: Have you given up on Politics?

Many people say, and it's most likely true, that the government and the politicians are nothing but a bunch of hypocrits, liars, selfish and doesnt represent the people, and doesn't get the job done well. People say most politicians are puppets. What do you think, in brutal honesty, is the future of america right now in 2011? Do u think something major will happen? How long do u think we can take this?
