There’s a nice little chart on the web that shows steady government growth from 1940 through 2001 regardless of which party is in power. With this one picture, a thousand words about why there is little difference between the parties become unnecessary. Two quick conclusions can be drawn from the data. The Republican Party has been given sixty post-New Deal years to show that it can shrink or even limit government. It has failed and there is no reason to think it will ever succeed as presently constituted. Second, the conservative movement, which, unlike the libertarian movement, has held center stage in American politics since 1964 and held real power many times, has failed insofar as it purports to believe in smaller or even limited government.

Since 1945 neither party has shown significant resolve to truly limit government. As the chart shows, government spending has only steadily increased over the past half a century. We need less spending and for at least the Republican party to act on their rhetoric and do what they claim to want to do. LIMIT the government.

The country is bigger, more complicated, part of a global world ,tech reliable and capable, etc. Why would anyone conclude that there should be less government esp as long as it is “of” the people? We simply pay taxes to pay wages to service each other in the non private sector.

An interesting response…especially from a former history teacher.
It sounds like you’ve given up on the Constitution and American sovereignty in the name of globalism.
