Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.

If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant.

Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.
