I agree with you.
On the second part I would be more open to a bigger government if that government was located in my city, or county, once you get up to state and national levels I feel there is no accountability. They dont see the direct result of their actions as they live far away, and you cant go see them in person to protest as they live far away. Yes you can call, but be hung up on, you can write, but not get a response. But if you live down the street and I can drive by and remind you how your bad decision affected me, it may make you think twice about what is good and bad for the nation, or if you also have to deal with your decision because you reside where it will have effect.. I think the biggest problem in politics is the disconnect between ordinary citizens and washington (or their state capitols).
