(Promoted from the diaries by DavidNYC. Howard Dean says that you can't trust Republicans with your money. Curt, riffing off the New York Times, demonstrates in detail exactly how right Dean is.)

The New York Times today calls attention to "The Revolution That Wasn't". An examination of Republican failure to live up to the promises of their fiscally responsible pledges in the Contract With America, the article quotes Newt Gingrich among others. Reading the early paragraphs a reader might expect that the article is a takedown of Republicans now that they have become the entrenched party of big government. But the article also veers off course by trumpeting Republicans cynical contention that the only way to bring the budget into line is to slash Medicare and Medicaid and make large cuts to the one-half of the budget not spent on defense.

If the history of the Republican revolution were being written today, a single overarching question would have to be answered: Whatever happened to the promise of smaller government?

What indeed?
