Big government conservatives are against big government unless big government is protecting their chosen American industries from competition. Suddenly, and without reason, they demand greater government control of the economy and less personal liberty.

Big government conservatives believe government bureaucrats can better manage the economy than hundreds of millions of free people freely making hundreds of billions of decisions in their own self interest. Markets don't work unless they are managed by government. People cannot be trusted to do the right thing so they must also be managed by government.

Big government conservatives are not conservative.
