I think "small government" should be replaced with "limited government". Government will never be small, but it should be limited when it can be.HHusky said:
Nobody with an ounce of intelligence has ever believed that "small government" is a realistic or a worthy objective. It's not an intellectually honest pursuit and neither political party has ever pursued it, regardless of what they said during a campaign. It's a fantasy. And all most of you ever mean by it is you want the government to do stuff you like, but not stuff you don't like.RoadTrip said:
Do you consider social media writ? How was Rush's spoken opinions on subjects like small government different than intellectual prose on the same subject in 1980?HHusky said:Political conservatism was actually moored to conservatism writ broadly, and was intellectually and philosophically coherent in in 1980.
Rush helped to change that.
Missed by the right wing's rabble. No one else.
Small government is at best a rhetorical flourish required to pander to the stupidest voter a Republican can hope to convince to pull the lever for him come election time. -
Just not a voting issue for the dazzler. He proudly voted for barry because he was clearly the most fiscally responsible alternative.HHusky said:

Pseudo intellectual Gasbag informs us that the guy who shrank government employment is a socialist.WestlinnDuck said:

I like to say people have "changed the subject" when they have continued to talk about the subject, it's what I like to do.HHusky said:
So you'd prefer to change the subject.SFGbob said:
He cut spending and pushed for a line item veto that would have given him the authority to cut even more spending. He submitted budgets that cut spending and he called for the complete elimination of some Federal Departments. Obama never did any of this. You measure people by how you are Dazzler. You know that you're a dishonest and duplicitous hack and therefore you assume everyone else is like you.HHusky said:SFGbob said:
If spending alone could bring about an economic Recovery you man crush Obama would have had a booming economy. As a percentage of GDP spending actually shrank under Reagan.HHusky said:
Reagan was a big government spender. In good times (California) and bad (when he took the Presidency).RaceBannon said:
SureHHusky said:
RR never shrank a government in his life. It wasn't remotely a touchstone of his governing philosophy.RaceBannon said:
I do know better and I'm not a pathological liar like youHHusky said:
Yes. Twice.RaceBannon said:
And you voted for him twice. AllegedlyHHusky said:
As if Ronald Reagan ever did anything to shrink government at any level.RaceBannon said:Nobody with an ounce of intelligence has ever believed that "small government" is a realistic or a worthy objective. - HHutzky
Other than the guy H claims to have voted for twice in the 80's
He was an adept politician. He paid lip service to lots of things. Unfortunately, in a Western democracy, it is crucial to capture some reasonable share of the gullible vote.
Gullible is your middle name. RUSSIA
He wasn't remotely like what you gals now imagine, though you were there and should know better. Alas, not everyone can age well.
I never voted for Reagan
RR was all about shrinking government and doing what government is supposed to do. Defend the country
What he wasn't was beloved or treated fairly by the slime ball media which is what I have been telling the GALS for over a year now as they got the vapors over Trump
You GALS are always worried about a GOP dictator then whine like GIRLS when they aren't and go along with Congress and stuff
Reagan stood for less government. You didn't and you don't
You're a fraud and a loser. And a sucker
That's not a criticism on my part. It's a big part of the reason the early 80s economic recovery was so rapid.
Sort of. The ratio shrank under Reagan to where it had been at the beginning of his presidency from the highs it had grown to during his presidency. Almost exactly the same as Obama, btw.
Wise.
