If you were playing professional basketball or American football, one would want BIG... but, if you are looking for a spouse, one typically wants small...
This may not have been the best analogy to use for the size of government, but you think about it, the analogy hits the mark...
The bigger the government, the more taxes the government has to collect from its citizens to pay for everything. Businesses and the wealthy can shelter their money away from taxes, so the burden falls on the general population...
In other words, you and I pay for the government that we have... but, taxes alone will not pay the bills, so our government has to borrow money and 1/3 of the money that we have borrowed we owe to CHINA...
Everything that is referred to as PUBLIC is paid for by the government which is paid for through our taxes.

These programs are also considered to be examples of SOCIALISM but put that aside and look at what you tax dollars pay for and could you not do a better job...
How many city supervisors do you see standing around watching 2-3 others dig a hole?
How long do you have to wait on hold whenever you need to talk to a government worker about a mistake?
