Can you find me a recording of any Democratic officeholder saying they're "for Big Government"? The ideological split is not between Democrats and Republicans.

Can you find me a recording of any Democratic officeholder saying they're "for Big Government"? The ideological split is not between Democrats and Republicans. They are wings of the Washington, D.C. Nationalist Party. The Democrats are the emotionalist wing, the Republicans are the rationalist wing, but the motto of both wings is "We're from Washington, and we're here to help!" 1999 wasn't that long ago. We had a surplus. Funded by a bubble. The ideological split is mostly the result of opportunism by Tea Party commentators/legislators ... The Tea Party is one public face of the decentralist sentiment that opposes the Washington, D.C. Nationalist Party. By their very nature decentralists do not organize national movements like the Tea Party until the situation is completely out of hand (as with the Regan Revolution). They give the centralists a real thrashing, spend a few years chainsawing the worst crap out of the government, then go back home. The centralists then start rebuilding power for the next showdown in another 30 years.
