"Isn’t it interesting how, no matter which political party is in charge, the government continues to grow?
This is especially puzzling, since Republican voters and politicians are supposedly supportive of small government.
You’d think that the size of the government would ebb and flow over time, as Democrats increase spending and Republicans roll back government growth when they get into office. However, that never happens, and there’s a very simple reason why.
On Sunday, an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed that 57% of Americans wanted the government to do more to solve problems, which is the most support for government intervention since the poll began in 1995.
That support was stagnant throughout Obama’s presidency until 2015, when it suddenly shot up.
But that’s not all.
A recent Pew poll found that American support for more government spending on a wide variety of programs has drastically increased compared to several years ago.
On average, support for bigger government increased 7 percentage points since September, and hasn’t been this high since 2008..."
