When Clinton declared that the era of Big Government was over, he was right in a sense: henceforth, in the post-Cold War world, Big Government would be replaced by lots and lots and lots of Small Government, micro-policies on this, micro-policies on that, that cumulatively add up to be even more costly than Big Government. But along the way, the core elements of government — national defence, strategic clarity — get lost.
