Your comment makes no sense, as government in the US (You seen to be speaking from a US perspective) is much, much larger than it has ever been, and has been growing tremendously throughout your entire lifetime, along with the problems that you mentioned. |
That is completely false. We put a man on the moon in the 60's. Now NASA is a shadow of its former self. U.S. funded computer research programs gave birth to the internet, as well as many other inventions. Now it is almost impossible to get government research funding. Republicans have dialed back regulations for decades, and whenever they can't dial back regulations they massively cut the funding for said regulators. I'll post links and examples later today when I get the freetime.
