Slumdog Jindal

The hope of the completely bankrupt and increasingly more marginalized Republican party - Bobby Jindal - toted the party line about smaller government. So is that what we actually got the past eight years? Did the government shrink? Did the powers of the government shrink to be able to incarcerate citizens without a trail, or to kidnap them to other countries, or to listen in on their phone conversations? Did it shrink with a military expenditure to rival six of the most industrialized nations? No, it didn't shrink, it got stupid. He's right, with the Republicans in charge, I don't want the governement to get bigger, cause with them, it just gets stupider. Obama was right. Every major catastrophe in this country HAS ALWAYS REQUIRED GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE to get us out of what the private sector, unregualted and wild with profit, got us in to. Even their great leader, Abraham Lincoln, oversaw one of the biggest forced regualtion of business in the history of this nation. It was called the Civil War. And it regulated AGAINST FREE LABOR for the cotton industry. I have a suggestion. If the Republican politicians seriousely want to shrink the government tell them to stay out of it. Don't run. Don't serve. That'll make it smaller right there.
