Despite what I see as your misuse of the word "fact," I have to give you credit for at least asking a question that goes to policy and agenda, and isn't just some mud cooked up using skewed information. I myself don't want to see the overall size of the federal government expanded. I don't claim to be an expert on the federal budget, but I'm sure there's lots of fat that could and should be trimmed. But at the risk of "spewing liberal talking points," I do think that the government has a role to play, and there may be areas where expanding that role is justified. Government itself isn't the problem, BAD government is.
