That is a very good question. Democrats want government to serve the people. Democrats want government to solve problems. Democrats do not hate government; they understand that government has a purpose.

At the same time they are not spend thrifts. The recognize the value of tax dollars and they understand that programs must be continued only if they are cost effective and do an important job.

To believe that government should be smaller merely because you believe government should be smaller is thought by jingoism.

People who do not like government make poor governors.
