ain't going to happen.

Small government probably isn't going to happen, but it definitely won't happen without arguing for it, and arguing for it is hardly painful, or harmful. It at least can work to slow the future growth of government.


See..........that's exactly the problem with an ideologue. You want to slow the growth of gov't whether that's reasonable or even beneficial to the public. Its not based on something practical......like what society's needs are. Its simply how you think the world should be.......based on mythology, not fact.

Yes, you don't want the gov't to grow helter skelter

"That's what it has been doing."

How so?

The budget deficits are about the same size as the budget from not all that long ago, and those budgets where in turn far larger in inflation adjusted terms than earlier budgets.


Look at this chart........the deficits as a percent of GDP began to grow under Reagan, continued under Bush I, slowed and even reversed under Clinton only to commence growing again under Bush II:

The numbers don't lie. You all cut taxes to the rich while spending like cheap whores with a new credit card. And you want me to believe in your ideology???

I DON'T THINK SO!

As the guardians for the rich elite in this country, the Rs are not to be trusted.
