There are some that want more federal involvement, hence more

Then ther's the current US administration, that has increased government
at a much faster rate than Clinton, but reduces taxes.

War is hell. It's hardly surprising that spending has increased, we're at
war.


In fact, you can't reduce taxes when you run deficits and carry debt;
you can only _defer_ taxes. Someone's going to have to pay the bill,
but the current generations of voters are hoping it won't be them.
Ditto environmental damage - they are "sure" someone will fix the
problem someday.

One of the best ways to fix deficits is to cut government spending. We'll do
that as soon as the cowards in the EU start helping out with the war on
terrorism and we can bring our troops home.

Until then, we'll do what we have to to secure peace and defeat the
terrorists...again...while the rest of the world sits by and enjoys the
fruits of our labor.
