Choice is simple: Do we want big government?

Despite his protestations to the contrary, our president loves big federal government. A federal government that has its heavy bureaucratic hand in every aspect of our lives. Is this what we really want? It certainly isn't what the Founders had in mind.
The choice isn't complicated. Do we want future generations to live in a representative republic founded on the concept of democracy, or do we gift those generations with a primarily socialist country cloaked by a paper-thin veneer of “democratic values?”
