Liberals: How big does the government have to get before you decide you want to take responsibility for your own life?

Government regulations on small businesses and constant attacking of companies have stopped all hiring. Thats why its nothing but part time jobs even after 6 years now. You cannot constantly attack companies then scratch your head as if you dont understand why there isnt any hiring. Unfortunately its not going to get better until he's out of office. Thats not even getting into the 18 trillion in debt he created that kids today will fight with their whole life.

Those are facts. You can spin that any way you want to discuss it, but that wont change the facts.

Economic terrorist Grover Norquist ('advisor" to the Bush/Cheney administration) harps incessantly on "smaller government" or "a government so small I can take it home and drown it in my bathtub." Since we, the American people are the government, and we choose people from among our own ranks to represent our needs and interests in the context of helping this nation remain strong, is this whole "smaller government" Trojan horse the treacherous corporate-colluding economy-trashing GOP uses to eliminate all government oversight, all consumer protections, and all systems of checks and balances (a.k.a., the GOP's corporate-colluding DEREGULATION)? This is what former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, a lifelong Republican, testified under oath was the cause of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac housing collapse and the horrific FINANCIAL SYSTEM MELTDOWN that nearly took this nation down into the toilet and that bankrupted most of Europe, thus slowing our own recovery.

This ragging on Liberals incessantly without any basis in fact gets a bit tiresome. Should we not try to unite as a nation during a time of war?

not until it gets so large that it collapses.

An objective look at the gop's war on women, proves they are the ones who want govt to grow.

First, you're going to have to define what you mean. Just parroting "big government bad" isn't a basis for discussion.

Do I think that regulations on industry, including the financial industry, are a good thing? Yes, I do.

Do I think the government has a right to tell me whom to love, what to smoke or when to procreate? No, I don't.

In America, we care for each other. May it always be that way!

We need government to help protect us little guys. The rich are fully capable of helping themselves. And they always do at the expense of the little guy!

We can reduce government spending by buying American made goods. We can bring about meaningful change with our wallets.

They won't notice Big Government until guys with brown shirts bust down their door and hang a picture of Dear Leader on their wall.

Then again, based on the lack of concern here by some, they may have nice, crisp, well ironed brown shirts in their closet already.

Efficiency in groups should help us do less work-

and less war.

Are you a work camp fascist- Why do you hate our freedom?

you should be doing that in the first place. it has nothing to do with the govt

Could you be more specific?

I just support more federal spending on infrastructure to modern and improve them. This issue is the most important to me.

they don't want to take responsibility, they want someone else to give them a free ride.
