Minimum size of government and minimum taxation works even better.
Not feasible for a country the size of the US but technically yes, that works.
Yes it is feasible to have smaller government.
Not too long ago Ron Paul came up with a budget to reduce the filthy Federal budget by a trillion a year while still maintaining a growth in defense, SS and Medicare.
Just think how much stronger this country would be economically if that trillion was returned to the taxpayers and spent in the productive economy.
We could have a great Federal government doing all the necessary things it should do for a third or fourth of what we spend now.
By a trillion possibly if we can cut entitlements, which take up what 67% of the budget? Military is another big one. I agree that we should leave many inoucuous issues to the states or make them private. FINRA for example is private. EPA should be privately run IMO.
All our Federal government really needs to do is provide for defense, courts, state department, border security and a few other things. It does not have to be this big bloated monstrosity that it is now. We sure as hell don't need entitlements, welfare, subsidies, bailouts or grants. We don't need departments like Energy, Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development and all that other wasteful horseshit.
We could have a great Federal government for about $1.5 trillion a year, which is greater than the GDP of most countries on the face of the earth.
Logically you are correct but the cat is out of the bag and unwinding all this is impossible
You are of course correct.
Of course I would say it another way.
We have let the filthy ass Liberals have robbed us of our Liberty and and our wealth and have allowed them to make slaves of us.
We voted ourselves into slavery to the damn state and we are suffering the consequences.
