I see you are in favor of a smaller state. Does that mean you wish to cut federal funding from local schools, making them worse; cut the police forces at the local level, which also get some federal funding; and so on?

And cut transportation funds so we can have more pot marked highways and weak bridges?

Just asking.



I'm in favor of cutting federal funding for everthing. In general, a smaller government is a good thing. Leave the capital in the hands of the local citizens who can decide what to do with it.

It is obvious from your post that you think that you are getting good value for your money. I think that it is a very questionable view. Having been in a Fortune 500 business for over 25 years that included numerous tough times, it is clear that it is easy for there to be "fat" in any organization and that it is possible to get the same or better performance with less.

I am in favor of smaller govt, but that should not mean we should expect less.
