I'd caution against taking the Republican's word that they want a 'small government'. History contradicts this assertion -- the last 3 republican administrations increased the budget deficit.
I think Republicans want to allocate funding differently from the Democrats, but I'm not so sure they want to do any kind of 'small government'.
- achompas 15y agoAmen. 100% of problems mentioned by grandparent (Bush tax cuts, Medicare prescription bill, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq) were enacted by a Republican president.
- tertius 15y agoYou can increase the deficit and still want smaller government. Not saying that that was the case, but you could be misunderstood in saying what you have.
- hugh3 15y agoExactly, that was what I was saying about "starve the beast".
