In practice, “small government” is just a meaningless phrase they use to justify cutting any programs that actually help people. Of course, given the sort of shit that the ones who seem to really want small government would have in mind for their preferred system, I’m not sure whether it largely being a bullshit concept that they don’t actually believe in makes it worse or better.Agreed. Regan was famous for saying that government was the evil in our society, but look how much he spent on military and the drug war. Clearly, he didn't mind government involving itself in any of that.
