There is limited government, which is about power, not size, and there is big government, which is about size, and not power, but in reality, once either one gets out of control, it’s all the same thing. Government becomes a greedy parasite that kills the host.
Or an EPA which decides a lot 2 blocks from a lake is a wetland, and demands tens of thousands of dollars worth of work before they will deign to listen to an appeal?
It is size? or is it power?
I think it is both, as well as a mindset that the bureaucrats know more than the people that pay their wages and the hubris to use their power to slap down any dissent.
