That’s the title of the e-book I have written and which has just been published on-line by American Enterprise Institute, where I’m a resident fellow. I took a look at the public policy results after a series of elections in which big government policies were or arguably were repudiated by voters. The results varied. Sometimes big government policies were significantly, though not totally, rolled back; sometimes now. Big government can be rolled back, but it requires hard work, strong leadership, serious preparation and dogged perseverance.
