Try Manifest Destiny

 Reihan Salam  explodes the myth that large central government investments result in economic gains.  He works the rush to the moon and the federal highway system.

Better examples abound, my favorite is Manifest Destiny, a clearly Big Government program by the first Republicans, initiated by John Fremont. The result was the greatest disaster in American history, the Civil War.
And its not just Obama who is deluded, Boehner suffers the Big Government gambit.  Even Ms Bachmann gets into the game with her Defense of Marriage crap.

Also Big Government failure in Europe has quite commonly led to European wars with tens of millions dead.
