I've seen liberals spend like drunken sailors too. I suppose some people might want the government to crash and burn under the weight of enormous debt, but I doubt most of the Neocons do- I can't imagine they are (as a majority) that devious and crazy. Of course they could be, but I just assume that things are the way they are because of laziness and stupidity, rather than deviousness, insanity, and a really amazing conspiracy.

Debt insures that the federal government will not be able to pay in the next generation.

Small government to its advocates means fewer regulations and fewer bureaucrats. It also means conforming to the constitution re federalism. The debt thing is secondary.
