Actually Host if you paid attention to my posting history you would know that I am not for reducing government for reducing's sake.
I am an advocate of a social saftey net, universal health care, etc. If I were to advocate for any reductions it would only be in an effort to maintain cost efficiencies. Many government bureaucracies can become bloated with fat and can afford to be trimmed from time to time.
As for the Reagan and Bush Admin having intent... of course they have intent. They both ran on platforms of reducing government. The philosophies that sit at the heart of the neo conservative (or whatever they are being called today) agenda is to lower taxes and reduce the size of the government.
People like Karl Rove devote time to making sure that their message is absorbed by the populace at large. It's what selling your position means. It's how you get your agenda carried out.
Why would you be shocked to see that they did what they said they would do?
