What is smaller government?

Less spending on the poor?
Less government enforcement of environmental, labor and financial laws?
No standards for education?

It's letting the level of government for which the Constitution specifies has authority over decisions makes it.

Show me where the Constitution states such terms as food stamps, WIC, healthcare, etc.

Standards for education, according to the Constitution, lies with the States not the federal government.

Yep, the good ol' days AFTER FDR
Rampant poverty, dust bowls, soup lines, massive migrations looking for work. Every man for himself, gargantuan welfare/warfare police state


A socialist/fascist dream.


.

If looking out for fellow Americans is your view of socialism/fascism......maybe it is not so bad

"Looking out for fellow Americans" is a leftist euphemism meaning to loot the productive for the benefit of ticks on the ass of society. It means organized plunder and robbing Peter to pay Paul. It means your nothing but a cheap thug.

Well yeah, they want to care for others, so long as it's with OTHER peoples money that is being FORCED out of them by this tiny weeny Guberment we have now

But then the people who hate taxes being forced out of them for this, seem to have no problem with money being forced out of them to pay big business, or to pay for wars.

good grief, the Federal Government was only to be here to run our Military and protect us from all enemies . they were NEVER intended to be anyone's NANNY.
WE ALL HAVE STATE governments to be your nanny if that's what you want...
if all the people who felt like you Contacted their elected ass you could get some of the things changed that you have a beef with. But you don't want a smaller government. so this is pointless

This is inaccurate. Instead, the GOP has some of these issues because of factions that comprise it. Fiscal conservatives are defined by this smaller government thing. They're just one shrinking voice amid people who want theocratic policy or big spend foreign politics.

Honestly I don't think fiscal conservatism is a "shrinking" voice within circles of those that control the GOP, I think it's a completely dead one. The only difference between what the GOP wants and what the Democrats want is the specific configuration of massive central government. IMHO all the talk about "shrinking government" and "cutting spending" that comes out of the GOP is nothing more than bread and circuses to placate the rank and file membership.

As far as "big spend foreign politics" goes both major parties are parties of War, I think it's quite possible that we've now entered an era of war without end where Americans that are alive today will never again see a day where their country is at peace no matter which party is in power. The river of blood and treasure being funneled into raining destruction down on other parts of the globe now stretches as far as the eye can see and Washington has become so good at hiding the realities of War from the eyes of the average citizen and creating new dragons to slay that I cannot see how it will be stopped any time soon.

Seriously though, who are the people clamoring for war, liberals or conservatives?

No one is clamoring for war.

Er... actually they are. John McCain for one. Well only if it's against an OPEC country though.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of that term.

Providing for the general welfare covers official poverty, but not a war on drugs that is repugnant to our Commerce Clause.

why not; if they buy plants at a discount and resell them for more money? why deny and disparage any work ethic?

GAO: $45 Billion Wasted in Redundant Federal Programs
LINK: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2014/04/09/45-Billion-

Wasted-Redundant-Federal-Programs-GAO
I have found articles repeating the same thing for approximately a DECADE. Out government has known about them yet has done nothing to resolve the problem.

The complete lack of accountability also continues to ensure a bloated federal government. The EPA, for example, just massively incompetently cause d MASSIVE environmental disaster. No one was held accountable, and the case Is being made (poorly, IMO) in it's aftermath the EPA should be given more money, more power, and more people. The disaster, itself, made the case for the OPPOSITE.

The VA is a great example of a government too large. The scandal was uncovered that government managers and personnel were giving themselves raises and bonuses while fabricating data and reports to 'earn' them, the whole time betraying our vets and leaving them without health care...some dying while waiting for care. Someone should have waded into that cesspool and fired an ass-load of people....but none were truly held accountable.

Yes; it does. the general welfare includes the general prosperity. i am surprised we have such lousy morals for free, with Persons of alleged religion carrying that moral weight for us.
