>> and there are still a few small government types around This is a common problem of the Dems. By the numbers one can show that GOP is a far bigger spender than DNC. The battle of the two is not about shall we have big government or small government. That framing was a nice trap into which Dems seem to be happy to walk into. The fight is about should the government give 80% of the funds to the big corporations and 20% to the people (this is known as "big government" or "Left" in the US)...or should it give a 110% to the big corporations and perhaps may be after a lot of bragging and dragging it through the mud also give 5-10% back to the people (this is the GOP and "small" or "Right" platform). Whereas the real platform should be a minimalistic government that equally avoids overspending big business as on the people and simply allows everyone to do what they want barring fraud and imposition of their will on others. This of course is not going to fly in the US because unless a politician is willing to sell of the country to the big business, he will not have a chance in the elections.
