To me government IS the problem. Smaller is better when it comes to government.
I would agree. But as a culture we have decided that government needs to be big. Even most conservatives live their lives this way while saying that government should be smaller. Where do most children go to school...government run public schools. Where do most elderly people receive a monthly check...government run social security. Where do most people receive health coverage...government run medicare and medicaid. Who is normally one of the largest employers in any given city in the U.S....the government run public education system. All this while we are told that the U.S. is a “center right” country. So, if the country tips to the conservative side and we still have elections, why is the government still getting bigger? I believe it is because as a culture we have allowed it to happen...why...because we have turned to the government for the “easy” fix instead of to God and family where we might have to take responsibility for our own lives.
