Big government is not our friend. Limited government is. The larger something becomes, in most instances, the more difficult it is to manage.
True words but my understanding is that government with all it's complexities and resposibilities will grow with our society. The key is to limit the growth.
The way it is with all the social programs, (that will never go away)government growth can only be controlled by limiting the formation of new entitlements. The purpose of the tax cut was to remove the funding so that new programs would not evolve. This is the only way.
