I want government small and frustrated with a lack of power and money. Safer for everyone. We have in our possession a Constitution that was written with that view in mind. The perceived need for intervention and good works has however vastly expanded the size, scope, power and expense of government. Now when evil people gain power they possess unfettered scope, power and money to work mischief.

Keep government small and we can all be a bit frustrated by the ineffectual government. But we can rest in our beds knowing that the government cannot perpetrate tyranny.

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. – Thomas Jefferson

This being the case, I want a strong government that can sustain a strong economy and strong families. We had such a government for about 200 years.

Now? Now we have weak and ineffective leadership doing grave harm to our economic growth and is tearing apart our families. It this really the “small and frustrated” government you want?

Well aren’t you the lucky one.
