Boston College Professor Allan Wolfe has an interesting essay in Washington Monthly discussing why conservative political leaders confront a problem in governing. They are critical of big government, but unwilling (and perhaps unable) to reduce the size of government and its role in our lives. The consequences of this, according to Wolfe, is that when conservatives rule we get big, but incompetent government.
