Heh. That sounds like a very typical christian American answer.
I say the federal government is more evil than good. I point to its atrocities and overwhelming apathy towards its own atrocities, while at the same time being wholly insecure about the whole ordeal and classifying everything it can. Why do they have so much to hide if they haven't done anything wrong? :]
I believe the problems are more cultural than just a few bad apples in power.
America will be a lot better off when it returns to being truer to the Constitution, while it is a flawed document, on which our government was founded. We're still moving further away from this; though the rate does ebb regularly. Gay marriage is almost ubiquitous, yet the right to privacy that was interpreted by our judiciary to be implied by the fourth amendment shrinks every year.
If anyone hopes to make change, they can start by actually making sure their local judges are competent and suited for the job. Even if this means running against them in local elections.
