When I say the neocons favor a small government I mean Kristol, and Cheney, and Wolfowitz, and Grover Norquist, and I don't mean Struass. In the meantime I'm sure the neocons feel that they have moved the philosophy beyond theory and into practice and so modify it to fit their circumstances. The only name I recognize on that list that is publicly in favor of smaller government is, of course, Grover Norquist. And I've never heard him placed among the neoconservatives. Do you have some links on that one? Or an argument? Cheney famously said Bush should simply ignore the issue of deficits because it's "our turn" and deficits don't matter. So he was quite happy to grow the government through borrowing. As for Kristol and Wolfowitz, I've never read anything either of them wrote about this issue. Do you have some links? Or arguments?
