When I say "this government", I include both parties.
I no longer see this as being a Republican vs Democrat thing. I see it as people vs government thing.
No one has clean hands in the mess that this nation finds itself in right now.
I believe we are well past the people vs government thing. A Washington Post article talking about Romney's 47% detailed the issue. Romney was right, but the numbers are even worse. Half of the population live in homes where at least one resident receives direct government benefits. Add to that expectations of defense, clean air, clean water, roads, etc, and I'm just not sure the people are going to want to see the government shrink much. Oh, they'll take shots at socialist initiatives, but take the benefits nonetheless. They'll question the right's efforts at hindering abortion, but still after 40 years of polling by a 2 to 1 margin want to allow abortion only under certain circumstances.
We want to see term limits, but they already exist, and we keep on electing the same folks. They must be doing something we like...
