Smaller government

I truly understand the calls for smaller government, but people, corporations, and industries have proven time and again that without regulation they destroy the environment around them for their own benefit.

Government provides the role of regulator and watchdog. That is what they do - define rules and regulations in the greater common interest. I believe it would be impossible in the current climate to develop such projects as a national highway system.

I weep at the current "me first" political climate.
