A small correction...
TB seems to be convinced in his imagination that Republicans really believe in small government and limited government spending.
No, I believe in small government and limited government spending. Increasingly, the Republicans in Congress have left this behind, and I have never said otherwise.
And that Democrats automatically want to have big government and big government spending.
This is true. I know some of the things Pelosi and her crew have ready for launch if Obama wins and they increase their majorities. None of them will reduce spending or the size of government. None. And one or two will increase the size of government far beyond what it is now.
