What a perverse attitude for the leader of the government to have. The anti-government attitude pervades Washington. It's no mystery that the government has become so dysfunctional.

Has the government gotten larger or smaller in it's reach, size, budgets, expenses, debt, or future promises in the last 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? 30 years?
I'd say you have it backwards: the pro government crowd has won and gov continues to get bigger. Nearly all entities want to grow and expand their sphere of influence and governments are not immune to this; indeed they are one of the primary examples of it's truth.
BTW: sorry about going off on your rant, it seemed like a stupid rant to me. You really think 50% of my countrymen think like you? That's an high figure.
