Always good to find common ground. As Reagan said a long time ago, 
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." 
Unfortunately, like every other politician before or since, he expanded the 
size of government. Today, Americans spend more on taxes than on food, 
shelter and clothing combined.
