Riiight. Another non-answer. You want the freedom to say "here is a
problem, gov't to the rescue and damn the cost!". I want a limited
government of enumerated powers that for the most part leaves me alone.

That is not an answer. Quantify it please. How much of the national

20%? 50%? 75%? How much? In my experience with proponents of big
government the answer is never quantified, only "more".
Nonsense. Just a neocon ideological rant. We need to look at each
problem
individually, with the sophistication to realize that the market
functions only imperfectly and in some places not at all. Using a
market
to manage non-economic goods is hurtful at best and often disasterous.
Using neocon ideology to justify irration behavior does not make it
right
and does not make it work.
