Hard to argue voting democrat is keeping government out of lives when some of the largest government overreaches have come from democrats. IE: ACA. I do agree that they fail to utilize their advantage more often than not but to say that Democrats in control is going to keep government out of peoples lives is... an interesting approach given history.

Seriously, ACA has been the largest government overreach in your life? The government plays a huge role in insurance (over 1/3 of those insured are insure through the government) with Medicare, Medicaid and VA benefits. A few wildly popular rule changes (preexisting conditions) and some state-level exchanges have not moved the needle from giant player to overreach.

  I didn't say "largest". I said "democrats overreach". That's not saying "republicans don't". Both do it... the idea that Democrats stay out of your lives is stupid. They want to control your lives every bit as much. They are trying to create a Ministry of Truth. They are sending the FBI after soccer moms. Biden made unconstitutional moves to use the FDA to enforce unproven vaccines. He's gotten slapped down by the courts repeatedly for various things. In none of the previous paragraph did I say "republican are innocent". They both want expanded powers and will abuse them given the chance. "have not moved the needle from player to overreach" one of the largest - if not the largest - expansion of government in recent history isn't "player" level. You can't say "1/3rd of people are covered by the government" and not admit that that is massive overreach for a federal government that has no right in that area to begin with. Lock stock and barrel: over reach.

The creation of a whole new federal branch - "homeland security" was created under BushII. Cushy federal jobs with pensions all funded off that sweet sweet defense budget. So now airline travel is ruined all for security theater..and you think ACA is overreach?

  I didn't say "The right doesn't over reach". I said "Its silly to say that the left doesn't". You realize that both sides aren't for shrinking the government or staying out of your lives?
