As a moderate, I expect the government to provide a few competently delivered services like, a school system, water and waste treatment, roads and airports, and a strong national defense. I look to elect officials who will run the affairs of state, balance the budget, and streamline the government.
I look for more power ceded to the community level. I think matters like abortion and gay rights should be settled at state level and not federal level. Welfare should be funded at the federal level but managed at the county level by an elected board, similar to the school system. I expect the governement to stay out of my personal business, and keep its hand out of my pocket.
As a liberal or conservative, what do you expect from government? Please don't answer for any viewpoint other than your own.
