How do you get rid of big government and keep all the employees on
payroll?
I was watching an episode of Real Time With Bill Maher over the weekend and he had a woman on who helped for found one of the many tea party groups. They talked about how the Tea Party is all about shrinking the size of the government, but when Bill asked her to give explicit examples of how she would shrink it and what she would get rid of she had no real answers.

It was interesting. That said every republican candidate going back at least to Reagan has said they want to shrink the size of the government and none of them has, they have all actually grown the size of the government. Now we are getting the same crap package up again.
