Big Budget Bills and the Death of Small Government

Is small government really dead? If the answer to that question is yes, then Gutfeld's blasé disappointment doesn't capture the deep despair to be felt in the realization.

Because if small government is dead, then the very idea of America is truly dead. What exists after its death is something else entirely.

Small government gives you big freedoms - and Big Government leaves you with very little freedom.

The opposite of Big Government is not small government, but Big Liberty.

Despite my occasional differences with him, Donald Trump may indeed be a small government conservative's best spokesman in Washington.

As Greg Gutfeld says, Donald Trump is "Not small government" and never has been, that provides little substance to the thin gruel that we small government conservatives are being offered by Washington right now.

Speaking of the new $1.3 trillion, 2,232-page omnibus spending bill that Congress hastily crafted, no elected official had read, and that Donald Trump grudgingly signed into law, Fox News' Greg Gutfeld said on The Five, with surprising nonchalance, "I don't understand why people are angry over this. I mean, how could you not see this coming? Donald Trump is not a libertarian. He's not small government." With a somber smirk, he proclaims, "Small government is dead. Sadly, as a conservative, it is dead.".
