If you look at America, which was the experiment of the smallest conceivable government, what grows out of that is the largest government the world has ever seen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
I believe that smaller government is better government. But I also believe that in the areas where government does play a legitimate role, we should demand that it is done better.
It matters more how governments behave than how big they are.
The federal government is way larger than it should be.
Government actually grew during the Reagan years.
That government is best which governs least.
The government is just too big, and we have to make it smaller; people are getting lost.
The federal government is far larger than the Founding Fathers ever intended it to be. We have racked up over $16 trillion of debt through wasteful spending, and it is time that we cut that waste and start reducing the size of our government.
