Government tends to mess things up when they undertake any task; welfare, Social Security, Medicare, etc. Government is pretty good at oversight; ensuring fair play, protecting civil rights, etc.
The government has grown by 60% in the last dozen years. Insane! I don't believe that any government will ever voluntarily limit their power or scope. With that in mind, I would like the citizenry to decide exactly how much government we are willing to pay for. After a binding budget is assigned, let the parties argue about how best to allocate the limited resources.
With that in mind, here's what I want from my government.
1) Lower taxes.
2) Stop legislating morality. The government should stay out of peoples private lives.
3) Corporate bailouts and corporate welfare should end NOW.
4) We are a Republic, not an Empire. We need to dramatically scale back our military ambitions. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. All political and moral failures.
