When is the last time the Republicans decreased the size of government?

All talk, no action.

Is it any wonder that the libertarians take such a beating from Republicans on this forum? Whether it's envy or loathing, I'm not sure. People don't like to be reminded of their own failings, and the Republicans have a bunch of them over the years in economic policy.

With the policy misdeeds of Nixon, Ford, Bush I & II and even, regrettably, Reagan, with regard to economics, taxation and invasion of privacy, it's politically expedient to harp on the Democrats.

Not that the socialist, union-lackey Democrats have a better solution for America, because they don't.

However, I'm beyond the stage of being so scared by visions of what Democrats would like to do that I'll fall in line behind a Republican who knows the right words but has no understanding of economics beyond the Keynesian version he learned in college.
