Again, you interpret my statement that we've gone too far with government as a mandate to immediately go to the other extreme.
I know for a fact that our country operated quite well fifty years ago, and with far less government power and expenditure. Roads were built, airports operated, electricity was delivered, water and sewage were taken care of. There were libraries, fire departments, police, and a damn robust military. Local and state governments handled a lot of things that have been overly centralized. Just as one example, look at how well massively centralized disaster control works. Not.
Change vectors. That's all it takes. When government really does get too small, it will become quite obvious. The problem is that there are too many people who think anything short of lightbulb controls is "too small." We haven't really had a problem with "too small" government in this country since FDR. Or maybe even Teddy Roosevelt.
