Once again, size matters. That said, when it comes to the Big G, have you noticed bigger isn’t always better? Setting aside the rockstar status we now give to the Office of President, clearly the increased size of the Oval Office entourage does little to calculate Presidential effectiveness, the larger our overall government grows the more lethargic it seems.

Just look at the top ten things you wish government could handle for you. How are they doing? How’s that trust in bigger government working out for you, your family and your friends? Has the proliferation of politicians and political power contributed positively to your bottom line?

The Gulf Oil Gusher is just the latest on my list of things that big government, run by the Dems or the GOP, has sadly fumbled. Honestly, who believes anymore that big government with a big credit card is the way to go? When did we replace political precision with prodigiousness? When? Better yet, why?

Far be it from me to disagree with Ben Franklin, “but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.” I’ve now added a third element. “but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death, taxes and government growth.” Unfortunately, the only thing growing faster is the laws they enact and enforce to justify and entrench their existence.

Again, I blame you and me. The steady growth of Government is our fault.
