While I respect and support the idea of responsible government spending, I don't believe small government is right the answer to our situation. Adopting a small government in an age where the corporation is growing to transnational heights is reckless. Even today, globalization has made corporations responsible, in many instances, for representing the US foreign policy, often with results being human rights violations. Instead of terrorist attacks by religious fanatics, we'll get terrorist attacks from freedom fighting nationals who construe the corporation for the nation.
Also the idea of an absolutely free market that is somehow independent of social realities is a myth. For there to be a truly free market, the government should do its part in leveling the starting field for a free market to be the equally beneficial system that it is designed to be instead of the continuing exploitation of social inequalities that it is.
