"Small government" and "big government" are a myth and we should stop using those terms. People who claim to be "small government" because they don't like welfare but they think the government should regulate what we do with our own bodies are certainly not "small government." In fact, conservative policies on social issues are the most invasive government policies I can think of.
I'm small government when it comes to most things. But the right to life and giving ppl basic needs for living take priority.
Right, but I don't see the point in the term. It wrongly implies certain things. The term really came about during Reagan's administration, and Reagan's "small government" is the opposite of yours (he really hated that "Welfare Queen"). So I'm not sure what you even mean by this statement.
