    Well, from what I understand, it means less Government in my life to control it. ie- healthcare choices, no RFID chips to track me, etc... While others seem to think Less government means less people "physically" working at the White House..lol


    What do you think "Less Government" means?

    If you are "conservative", it means telling people who they can and cannot marry and directly interfering in personal, intimate decisions.

    And allowing certain immoral-but-capitalist actions to go uncontrolled or unimpeded.

    Fly Unregulated Airlines
    Bring Unregulated Water
    Eat Unregulated Meat
    Drive Unregulated Roads

    Cut the federal workforce
    Cut federal departments
    Cut federal waste
    End the wars
    Repeal Obamacare
    Repeal PATRIOT Act
    Repeal National Defense Authorization Act
    Less regulations
    Eliminate crony capitalism

    Would result in:
    Less taxes
    A stronger economy
    Less corruption
    More power to the states
    A balanced budget and no $15,000,000,000,000 deficit

    I'm sure there are many more that I am missing.

    I don't understand what you just posted...

    I suppose it is unfair that my children and grandchildren are going to be punished because of the very actions of this administration and the previous ones.

    :fart:
    Obama seeks authority to shrink federal government
    Friday, January 13, 2012 WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will ask Congress today for greater power to shrink the federal government, and he would start by trying to merge six major trade and commerce agencies whose overlapping programs can be baffling to businesses, the White House said today. The Commerce Department would be among those that would cease to exist.
