President Ronald Reagan said, "government is not the answer...it is the problem." It's apparent that the GOP agreed and spend the last 12 years leaving no doubt that "government is the problem." The GOP has always said that government should be small. The GOP governments have never actually been smaller, but at least their hearts have been in the right place, If it's true that smaller is better, I think that the GOP could do the nation a great favor and resign from government. That way the government would be smaller and a lot less of a "problem."
