Small- government rhetoric is for the rubes. Take Rick Santorum. Santorum knows that government works. He has built his life and career upon and around government spending. He attended multiple highly-subsidized state schools. He made a career in law, a field that is heavily protected by government regulation. He was a government employee for decades before Casey beat him in the 2006 Pennsylvania Senate election. He endlessly praises the largest, most bureaucratized elements of government (the military and law enforcement).
He also knows that government provided health care can and does work because his parents demonstrated that to him during their working lives. They worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
His railing against government spending? Mere political theater for the rubes.
