Small Government or Smallish-Sort-of-Mediumish-Nicer-Better Government | The Baseline Scenario

Small Government or Smallish-Sort-of-Mediumish-Nicer-Better Government | The Baseline Scenario:

 In the longer term, Democrats should be worried, because Romney and Ryan have the better debating position. Their position is simple and superficially compelling: Government is bad. (Cf. the DMV—it’s state, not federal, and the one in Massachusetts works very well, but whatever; BATF; EPA; IRS; whatever agency your audience happens to dislike. Compare to Apple as if all private sector businesses were like Apple.) Government infringes on individual liberty. Cut down the government and we will have (a) more liberty, (b) more economic growth, and (c) lower taxes.
