The Google Test for Small Government, courtesy of Tim Pawlenty.

This is one of those “what the?” moments even low information conservative voters will understand.

Tim Pawlenty, a serious candidate trying to attract attention with a serious economic policy speech proposed a “Google Test,” as he made the standard Republican pitch for spending cuts.

“If you can find a service or good available on Google or the Internet, then the federal government probably doesn’t need to be doing it.” 

I just love this proposal for it's shear simplicity.
