Endless Arrogance of the Political Class: New at Reason

Ted Cruz won the Iowa Republican caucus, while on the Democratic side Hillary Clinton edged out Bernie Sanders by just a handful of votes. Marco Rubio finished third on the GOP side, just behind Donald Trump. That’s moved the betting odds in Clinton and Rubio’s favor at ElectionBettingOdds.com.

But, writes John Stossel, none of these candidates show an interest in limited government:

They scoff at anyone who suggests that their grand schemes do more harm than good. But big government does do more harm than good.

I shouldn’t single out Rubio or Clinton, or even Donald Trump. Almost everyone running for office today declares himself a “leader” who “gets things done.” There’s no modesty, little acknowledgement that so much of what government does is costly attempts to fix problems that government created at home and abroad.
