Republicans Hate Small Government

[Ivytalk]

See the linked piece from Reason's Veronique de Rugy:

John Stossel also came out with an article this week about the GOP Congress's new budget that increases the funds for EVERY department. Yeah, Trump is a real game-changer.

You misunderstood. Smaller government means they want shorter people working in the government.

I've only said it on here 100 times...
There is no evidence (other than a trail of words)

[Pwns]

Reading Slate and Huff Po you'd think Trump was taking a chain saw to the budget.

I'm so confused.

This doofus is just NOW figuring that out? He been under a rock for the last 30+ years?

Isn't that what you elected your boy to do?

Hey, if the shoe fits, wear it old man.

But I was referring to the author of the piece... ...as far as you know.

You really have turned into an old crank since you've moved to Texas....as far as I know.

And who are you calling old?

Are you talking about Z, or the Colonel?

No need to hide, Hogie. We speak the same language: the language of wisdom and experience. And even AZ is AARP-eligible.

Just as long as you remember your wisdom and experience is responsible for the debt, entitlement insolvency, Medicare Part D, 17 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Pat Boone ....

Pat Boone. That's a low blow.

Nope. Untrue.

I generally enjoy John Stossel's stuff. But he attacks spending on NOAA and appears to suggest that we're wasting money on that agency. If there is an agency that does provide lots of critical work, it's NOAA. The weather stuff is obvious. But they have also done things like do an excellent job of managing fisheries.

Do I agree with everything they do in terms of fisheries management? No. Is it perfect? No. But I assure you we are in a lot better place fisheries wise than we would be if NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service didn't exist.

NOAA is a bargain.

And it's like that with a lot of Federal agencies. Discretionary spending on agencies like NOAA, EPA, DOA, and DHHS aren't the problem when it comes to budget issues. All that stuff is less than 10% of the Federal budget. The Entitlement Programs are the problem and Trump doesn't want to grapple with those.
