Half of those will say it is entirely a Republican problem.


It is actually based on how you perceive government.

My view of government is much different than it used to be.

We focus on symptoms instead of root cause. For example, it doesn't matter how big or small government is, if it is corrupt. In fact, if government is corrupt, one could argue that bigger government equates to more chance for corruption. In other words, you cannot win an argument for greater government role, if the government is corrupt.

Fixing bad influence is priority #1. Then we can debate what government roles should be.
