Temporary tax rate decreases are no good and we should reject them as a country, because automatic increases come right back on the economy without a vote. We want permanent changes as that will help our economy and keep our representatives accountable as to who will vote for increases in tax rates. The coming tax rate increases are killing our economy right now when we desperately need jobs. We need some Senators and leaders who can see this!

Nuclear energy is a direct result of Military, which is constitutionally allowed department. Not venture capitalists (thats a sponsorship of about to form companies) There are actual companies that sponsor research, and endless amount of it. Certain states would be in the dust , not sure what you mean by that. EPA is needed but much limited than it is. And yes first Greece then USSR

Innovators dont develop new technologies due to gvt. Ever heard of private sponsorship? Look it up, it does wonders, and works on greater scale. Not yet economically viable = useless until it is economically viable, and that is when those technologies will be developed by private sector. Not to mention Federal dpt, of education only mirrors states dpts of education, its an overlap, and wasteful one.Seems like you want more and more gvt.Soon we will be USSR and you will still want more gvt.

Eliminate departments that do nothing, thus bringing more money into private sector and expanding it greatly. Bringing more money into military development, and into infrastructure. WOW China will walk all over us with their huge top down gvt. and lowered industrial sector, yeah your right. Which Constitutional power allows for board of education? Or DPT of energy? Or Transportation? Which technologies need grants? Yea and we will soon be second to China with gvt spending and taxation.

Geez stop being annoying, small gvt. doesn't mean the same amount of people doing bigger jobs ffs.  Small gvt. means departments (however large in size) that do jobs dictated by constitution. And Until I see an amendment that expands gvts. power to perform other tasks, that simply means the currently not covered tasks are unconstitutional. Technologies are developed in private sector at much better rate. Small gvt. Is not fantasy, its your ignorance that makes you think otherwise

[samuils]

What do amendments and bill of rights have to do with anything? How do you think the uber rich line the pockets at the expense of others? By providing services NO, by lobbying for grants and subsidies , a power which gvt. should NOT have. And the fact hat we now have advanced tech has NOTHING to do with small gvt. Gvt. is there to protect us from foreign and domestic harm. To maintain law, and to regulate interstate business ( keep it flowing smoothly).

[samuils]

When the government stops doing what its not suppose to do (constitutionally allowed functions only) then gvt. wont run out of money. And when you increase "revenues" aka talking money from people who actually earned it, in gvt, speak. You end up shrinking the economy. Money made by businesses, are also used to expand businesses, thus hiring more people, who now are able to spend their incomes.
