Ironically, Republicans who are usually anti-big gov't, only in the recent years, have turned away from that doctrine. its true that big gov't is usually associated with social programs, but big gov't now is more often the result of expansion of military programs than of anything else. The Pentagon is by far the biggest part o the U.S. gov't and it is growing so fast it is going to cost more than all other military establishments combined (in the world duh).
Personally the entire big-gov't thing has slowly slipped from the old conservative style with more bureaucracy like Homeland Security and other big parts of the gov't now.
I was always for smaller gov't but it seems people love to bash just social programs and need to realize the military itself has gone way out and above what is needed and is now soaking up more money than anything else.
