I have a problem with #13:
...we do not think a distant, ever-expanding, public sector is the only tool in our governing toolbox.
Hopefully this is just an inarticulate way of saying what they mean. In my opinion, a "distant, ever-expanding public sector" is never a tool and should be resisted...that is why we are the United STATES, the founders never wanted a big public sector.
We believe in shrinking and updating our old, public sector of government.
Shrinking the public sector IS an "update", is it not? We don't need to pour more money to update something we don't need, unless they mean getting better computers for the few bureaucrats we might decide to keep in the federal government.
