[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 210848, member: 9007"] Oh contraire, I'm not opposed to reducing the size of government. Rather I'm for a more effective government.:thumbup1: It's also important to remember that while you may believe 'big government is bad' or 'big government is good' that it's not really a question about the size of government that's important. It's a question of what the government is doing...:wink: I'd rather have a prolific government that ensures the welfare of its people, than a tiny one that does nothing when a terrorist strikes. By the same token, a large government can also waste money for no good reason, which is where the argument that a big government is a bad thing comes from.:whistling In the end, it's really not a question of size, but of efficiency. An efficient government is a good thing, and an inefficient one is a bad thing. So the next time someone tells me that I shouldn't vote for X or Y because they favor big government, I'll just have to ask them whether they favor efficient government, as that's really the important question.:thumbup1: Hope I've cleared up my position for you.:thumbup: [/QUOTE]
