Z, > I don't see why this argument is relevant.

Because my beef with big government is that it is almost always inefficient.

Advocates for universal health care will continually pound the table, saying, "It doesn't have to be inefficient! We can do it better than private enterprise can!" Yet they haven't found a way to improve our current federal bureaucracy. I can point to FEMA and Veteran's health care as starters. (And to those who think that was Bush's fault, I can also point to the FBI, CIA, and INS during the Clinton era and what a joke they became.)

And then there's border security, which I don't have to dwell on.

Time and time again, the government solution has always been to throw more money at a problem. Federal spending has reach new highs under the Bush administration, yet government has become more and more ineffective. Think electing a Democrat would fix things, as Ted and Chris would argue? I'd sure like to believe that, but I doubt the current front-runners have any clue as to how it should be done.
