But I think that's the problem, small is a relative term and can mean different things to different people. I think what people really want when they say small government is efficiency, cut down on the bureaucracy, pointless offices and wasteful spending...but what you cut, streamline and where money is wasted is all up for debate too.
I agree with DC its a quick, easy slogan that sounds great at first but when you start thinking about it, its a different story.
...never the less there are plenty of good arguments for streamlining and adhering to efficiency (especially if you want lower taxes), but you have to be willing to make those cuts across the board and not just when its convenient to you. How many Tea Partiers will be just as willing to cut military spending as they are social programs?
