Anyone read about Paul Krugman's 'starve-the-beast' theory? Badically amounts to cutting taxes on the highest incomes (while trying to avoid any sustantive tax cuts for the middle class), creating deficit and spending like a sailor on all the wrong things so as to put a squeeze on federal spending. This forments further popular antitax opposition to 'big Government' and takes the Government back, through the sheer necessity of a planned fiscal crisis, to its pre-Roosevelt size.
I'm trying to gather up more information on this idea, but here's an initial source:
