Just because you're not anti-everything governmental doesn't mean you're pro-big government either. It is truly elementary the way people look at issues these days.

Yes but usually the people that only want to keep one or 2 things intact, are very big government programs. Case in point: Education and welfare

After that is done, we can re-evaluate the state of the country and make additional cuts from there.
Good, I'm sure all the poverty and crime that results from that won't cost the government/tax payers any money at all.

Without education we won't be able to compete economically from a global stand point. Oooo, I said something about the economy, 10 Republican political points for me!!!! Oh, also jobs, cutting stuff, and something about Obama being a socialist. Woah look at that, 20 more points! This is easy!
All Muslims are terrorists. Well look at that, I won the election!

The first program to kill is the DEA. Such a counterproductive waste of money it is. Not to mention its goal is to destroy the freedoms of US citizens.
