So bigger and bigger government is always the answer? If you say no, then you are moving towards libertarianism.
Right now? Yes. It is the answer. But I would say "better" government under a "good" administration.
Our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are a joke, our social safety net is all but vanished. These are things that government could help solve.
