Absolutely right---but you know what? Jefferson "grew the government." Adams "grew the government." Jackson "grew the government." I cannot find ANY administration for ANY period of time (save two brief "panics" or depressions) where government spending substantially fell or the power of government relatively didn't increase. So that's also a red herring.

The simple fact is---and anyone who doesn't realize this now is a fool---a GOP House and Senate never ever would have introduced this abominable bill.

I agree with the part that the feds will grow. Pretty much doesn't matter which party has the reins, neither party will abide by the constitution. And both parties are adept at fooling the rubes.

But the GOP did offer a healthcare bill. It was a more dilute form of poison.
