One thing you can be sure of: No matter which side wins, the government is going to get bigger.
I like how faux conservatives always fall back on Reagan. Reagan didn’t shrink the government. He just grew government in the areas of defense and corporate welfare as opposed to social welfare. Chimpy Bush has taken Reagan’s ideas to the extreme with his $11 trillion bailout of the super-rich.
Many Americans now feel like they are no longer benefiting from corporate welfare so they are ready to try policies that will grow the social welfare side of government.
