[Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin are saying is that it's not their fault, that the government didn't succeed, government didn't work, and government needs to be bigger. The left is saying this proves that government is not yet big enough.]
Question: does anyone know of one country in the world that is a representative republic with small government? I want to move out of this socialist America.
If there is it was just formed.
Government, by its definition, is designed to grow. It matters not if it is a representative democracy or a tyrannical dictatorship. A read the Federalist Papers may show you what our Founding Fathers thought on the subject and how they tried to quiet that beast.
BTW ... Good luck on the move, and be sure to read the fine print of that government.
