[...] Unlike libertarians, who seem not to want government to do anything, I think moderates are less concerned about “big” government than they are about “wasteful, incompetent, out-of-control” government. I suspect moderates are OK with government that is “big” enough to do what they want it to do; that is responsive to civil problems and gives good value for tax dollars spent. As I argued here, we shouldn’t be talking about “big” or “small” government, but about “stupid” or “smart” government. [...]

“Currently I think it’s…..challenged”
Rarely is the question asked, is our leaders learning.
Fool me once , shame on, shame on , shame on you.
Fool me twice…., can’t get fooled again!
Government has become a fools paradise……….

Whether the government is smart or stupid depends on the leadership. Currently I think it’s……challenged?

That’s good “smart” or “stupid” government! I remember a time when the rich in America never complained about their taxes because they felt they had a responsibility to the country that made them rich. We sitll have a few like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, Sr.; but, the rest seem to be just greedy monsters who care nothing about the country that made them rich. I would say that is a bit unpatriotic.
