if government grows faster than the economy for a long enough time, Americans will lose all our freedoms.

So then, using the above mentioned axiom, if federal government spending was ~22.5% of GDP during Reagan's years and ~19.5% of GDP during Bush's years, then Americans have gained more freedoms.

Right?
