Don’t be fooled by this carpola. The GOP has controlled both houses of Congress off and on for many years. They could have cut the size of government as much as they wanted. They didn’t want to. GW Bush could have closed every govt agency that was created by an Executive Order. Instead he came up with the prescription drug program and increased the size and scope of government.

Have you noticed how good the Republicans are at voting en masse for new government power grabs but seemingly helpless to reduce the size of govt?

If we take back the Senate in November and elect a Republican in 2016 they can cut the government back as much as they want.

Exactly right. Republicans had both houses of congress as well as the presidency when GW Bush was in office. What we got were illegal incandescent lightbulbs. I have no reason to believe we'd get anything different the next time around.
