Quote from TGregg:
They don't even claim to be for less government. That plank has was missing from the party platform during the last presidential election. We like to think that most people are like us and would like less government, but that's clearly not the case. Oh sure, everybody talks about less government and how much they'd like it. Then they talk about going to the gym every day. But when push comes to shove and government programs are not going up, voters get very grouchy.
Neither party will reduce government spending.
It's as silly to believe Obama or McCain when they say they will as to believe in the Easter Bunny. Obama seems to make more of a point to say he's going to reduce spending, so one could say maybe that means he's more aware of the issue than McCain. OTOH, one could say that makes him a bigger liar than McCain, because government spending will go up.
But it doesn't really matter that much. Obama or McCain will mean more federal debt, bigger government and higher taxes.
