 big government is a slogan that can be used by many. in my eyes big
government is fascism. and  laissez faire is a winner under that
system. after all, forbisga said it best, the winners oppress, and
they like the liberty laissez faire gives them to oppress and win. i
am a old style new dealer, keynes, galbraith, etc. its close to what
the many of the founders envisioned. freedom from economic oppression
that is enshrined in the constitution. and no one can guarantee that
but a interventionist government on behalf of the people.  laissez
faire does not like that, it inhibits their ability to oppress. they
call it big government.
