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.

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
