Issue Position: Phil says he is a Reagan Conservative. What does that mean?

Issue Position

By: Phil Jensen

Date: Jan. 1, 2014

As a Reagan Conservative, he believes in the limited Jeffersonian model of government. This means he believes that government governs best when it governs least.
Ronald Reagan once said that government is like a baby....an alimentary canal with a large appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
