I don't know that 'wanting more government' is a liberal trait. Seems to be a conservative trait.
Conservatives used to be about fiscal responsibilty and less government. Wow, that sure has changed, hasn't it?
Liberals want to reign in corporations and let individuals run free; conservatives want to rein in individuals and let corporations run free. Conservativism taken to it's extreme would be a fascist theocracy; liberalism taken to it's extreme would be socialist anarchy.
