I agree with your post.
I dont however think the public is a pro-govt as it was in the early 1960s, but not as anti as it was in the late 1970s and early 1980s
True enough, and I'd have to agree with you. It would take a lot of forgetting for people to be as much in favor of more government programs as they were forty years ago. What I guess I meant was more that the idea of a "revolution" against big government is less popular now than it was in the Reagan or Gingrich years.
