It’s the Goldilocks conundrum of American politics: Is the federal government too big, too small or just right?
Few think it’s just right. Ever since the first Americans bucked their colonial overlords in Britain, America has been wrestling with the delicate balance between a government that creates opportunity and one that inhibits it.

And the minute government chooses winners and losers this all falls apart.

The Role of Government? It’s right there in the Preamble to our plan of government, our Constitution!
We the People of the United States, in Order to:
