<<"except this common ground with the right?"

Don't we all want a federal government that is as small and efficient as it can be? I do.

Of course, but the devil is in the details. Republicans want to get rid of social security and medicare and cut government with no use of modern social science theory or conscience.

The right wing Tea party folks also medicare and social security, but also cut it-lol', so how do you work with that one?

I want a federal government that is as effective and as efficient as possible. And in fact I want it to be doing some things it doesn't do presently, like running a national health insurance system that everyone qualifies for.

I don't care how big it is, if it does the things I want it to do.
