I haven't seen anyone push a "small government" opinion.

I could, if you want because your arguments have been silly so far.

You can tell how terribly sorry I am not to meet your seal of approval by the look on my face right now. I'm sure.

Also, learn to read.

People are talking about maintaining a GOVERNMENT contract.

As long as that is being discussed, there has not been a mention of eliminating the government's role in putting out fires. The failure here was government and contracts. Not lack of government.

That's why, small government arguments have not been discussed here.

That's not a small government argument.

That's a medium sized government argument. A small government argument is that the public fire service should have never existed.
