what i really can't figure out is how exactly folk can simultaneously expect an expansion of state activity to stabilize the economic system as a system (and not so much as an accumulation of individual firms)---which it seems that folk want, one way or another, if they like the way of life that they have----and expect more tax cuts at the same time.
it really doesn't make sense.
personally, i think the biggest single area of wasted expenditure from the federal government is military procurement and by extension the entire national-security state...but that is a republican fave in terms of patronage so curiously seems not to be subject to significant rethinking.
