GOP For Smaller Government... Except when it comes to Congressional Staff. (Reid, how much)

[ovcatto]

Despite having lost 20% of their members, Congressional Republicans refuse to reduce their number of staff positions.

Reid: Congressional Budget Increased To Pay GOP Staffers

Now that's nonchange we can count on.

So you only have a problem with big government when it's a Republican thing?

I would say after last night's "so called" democrat cheer session", the entire Washington DC arena is a serious joke...if any of them helped the average american as much as they seemed to clap last night, we would be definately on the road to recovery.....I turned it off, OMG

They will blame dems for cost in the end. If they were only as good at policy as politics.

Why in the hell do republicans talk day and night about "Smaller government"?
But never say anything about "More efficient government"?

Cutting the federal government in 1/2 is not gonna make it 1/2 as corrupt.

Because that's their mantra. They have to chant it as often as possible. You need to study the Theory of Truth Through Repetition.

I've known that forever.
It's doesn't surprise that in the US nobody uses this phrase:
"Say a lie 100 times and it'll become true"

That has always been the main difference between republicna and democrats;how big and how much control the federal governamnt shopuld have over life in this country. During pre-roosevelt times the democrats would be considered conservative by modern standards.As to your point less to steal the less that is stolen.
