The Washington Post recently conducted a poll on a wide variety of topics, asking opinions on everything from Barack Obama and the state of economy to Afghanistan and budget deficits.
Buried deep inside this poll is some very positive for those of us that believe restraint in government:
By 58 percent to 38 percent, Americans said they prefer smaller government and fewer services to larger government with more services. Since he won the Democratic nomination in June 2008, the margin between those favoring smaller over larger government has moved in Post-ABC polls from five points to 20 points.
Could it be that Americans don’t believe that expanding government helps their own individual standing? Who’s to blame them, generally when government gets involved it makes matters worse.
