Happy, what do you base that statement on?

Edit: I mean the "if/then" fool then. The second sentence.

The role of the US government in people's lives is growing at a pace where the government will (potentially) grow more in the first year of Obama's first term than it has over the past 30 years ... Very few countries have expanded the role of the government at this pace, and I can't think of any which didn't devolve into dictatorships.

Rath is from New Zealand.

Edit: Also seriously more in the first year than in the past 30 years? You know that certain provisions of the Patriot Act scared me a Hell of a lot more than anything that Obama has proposed. For good reason!
