No but thats OK - if you are a parent do you tell your kids everything no
I realize we are not kids but there are some things best left unsaid.
As bad as the US government is it is still the best on the planet it is the most honest of all the government out there - I did not say it was honest - I said the most honest
if there is a better government anywhere then move there

They tell enough of the truth to get by. There are things that the general public does not need to know. National security means some things cannot be said. I do think they try to be as honest as possible, but take what comes out with a grain of salt.

No. There are too many idiots out there who will cause a problem whether the truth is told or not. They have their own agenda and they can only consentrate on one thing at a time. Like anything we think matters-not. Seat of their pants governing. But, could be worse.

Hell no and it's true that the truth would cause panic but I still believe that the truth will set us free.

To some extent; but issues of National Security are not always wise to divulge to the general population- with terrorists and those who seek to destroy our way of life .

do you believe the government tells the truth about important issues?
Truth..? ( shouted Tom Cruise ) you know nothing about the truth..!
Was it in "Men in Blue" or" Black" or perhaps in Khaki ?

no. government usually hides the truth if it is detrimental to its survival. they normally put a spin to things to make them look good to the public.

People in government lie to us all the time, but it's for their benefit not ours.

LOL! Um, no. The government tells us "little people" exactly what they think we need to know.
