Growth in federal government threatens our freedoms
Whether he’s a one- or two-term president, Barack Obama’s legacy will be the ginormous federal government he left behind. Trillion-dollar annual deficits weren’t enough to make him reconsider the wisdom of his spending sprees.

I hear you, I’m guessing on it too.
For Obama it’s “Ignormous”.
If Romney wins, just firing all the czars will pay for 100,000 miles of new roads.
