I am anti-big government.
In college I read Free to Choose by Milton Friedman, it was required reading in one of my Econ. courses. I changed from being a fiscal liberal (Keynesian Economics) to being a fiscal conservative (Moneterism). Now I trend towaard Supply Side Economics. But in either case I see government as a hinderence to economic growth and the creation of wealth.
On a daily basis I read Investors Business Daily's Editorial page. The views presented are consistent with mine and factual. Today when commenting on Bush's budget proposal thaey pointed out the government spending is about 20% of GNP, not a historic high or low, but materially higher than when Bush to office. Think about it $1 out of every $5 is spent by government. When will it end? How big do we actually want government to be? I say cut taxes and cut spending. Although I support Bush, spending in Washington is out of control.
