They defund an already debt-ridden government and then tell the idiots who vote for them it's their own fault that programmes have to be cut.

We remain aware of government’s urge to seek more power, to disturb the social ecology and disrupt the bonds of cooperation and interchange among private individuals and institutions through unnecessary intrusion or expansion."<br /><br />- From Speech at 1st Annual John M. Ashbrook Memorial Dinner (May 9, 1983)<br /><br />"From sea to sea without one urban renewal program"<br /><br />Are we there yet?
