No one in a powerful position should be trusted, simple as that. You may accept it, but you also need to keep vigilant and not trust of their motives.

"if working well" a company would be more profitable without supervisors, managers, CEO, etc because it would save on wages, but it don't work like that. Similar to X+Y with two positive numbers won't ever be lower than X.

I believe that excessive mistrust kills collective progress and leads to a generally miserable society.

It would be foolish to trust everyone in government blindly - however, that is simply not required, in a correctly structured institution. There are a *lot* of people that would be aware of any corruption that could occur, and *any* of them could, and I believe for some, would, be able to create a lawsuit for any such.

What concerns actual expenditure on political salaries, that's fairly insignificant on the scale of a country.

I don't really care about the specific salaries of political, but in Brazil case the rest of their cost is astronomic... but again government are good as long as they aren't big, and politician are acceptable as long as they don't hold to much power.
