NewResident,
you are right that republicans don’t believe in big government when it comes to services for the people… one look at the response to Hurricane Katrina.. both the immediate response and the follow-up illustrate the failure in that position.
However, they do believe in big government when it comes to corporations… one need look no further than the latest bailout of financial institutions whose profit seeking policies put the entire mortgage industry at risk… and millions of homeowners out of their homes.
We, the taxpayers, pay for our government.. it seems logical to me that we should get something for our dollars.. the very least of which is disaster relief.
what we have actually gotten from the republicans the last 8 years is more government and less service.
As a taxpayer, politics aside, that just looks like a bad deal to me.
