Would Benjamin Netanyahu preferred to have formed a smaller and more efficient government? Of course - but in politics as in everything else in life, there's no free lunch. Forming a big government - and a stable one - may turn out to be the lesser of two evils in instituting much-needed economic reforms in Israel. As Prime Minister, Bibi understands economics, a rare trait among politicians and he has in Yuval Steinitz, an intelligent and accomplished man to get the job done.

But this is AMERICA, we don’t WANT a big government intruding into the people’s lives.

Well I wish them well but this sounds suspiciously like the Bush43 rationale and in retrospect, the record deficits neither helped us nor prepared for tougher times.
