That's not a philosophy of government. It's a call for non-government. <br /><br />As proven by his actions, even Reagan didn't believe in that. He ran the largest budget deficit in history (up to that point - GW Bush surpassed him), raising government spending nearly everywhere, reducing only social services.<br /><br />Tea Party "thinking," such as it is, means prevention of legislation. If a shutdown and the threat of worldwide financial ruin wouldn't convince Douthat and Noonan to take Tea Partiers at their word, I wonder what it would take.
