A number of Democratic presidential candidates this year are calling for an increased level of federal government involvement in healthcare, taxes, energy and education. At the same time, Democratic leaders in the House have introduced a sweeping legislative package designed to fix the federal government, with proposed new laws relating to voting, political money, redistricting and ethics.
Both developments — calls for more government intervention and calls for government overhaul — are part of a larger discussion about the appropriate role and size of the federal government. This discussion has been with us since the earliest days of the republic. CONT.
