Philosophy : "Government size"
|
I believe James Madison summed it up best when he said this: "If Men were Angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary". I believe what he is saying is that men aren't perfect so we need government, but government isn't made f angels, so they need limits. When is a big government too big? When is a small government too small? You don't want the goerent I become Big Brother, but you don't want complete anarchy. It requires the perfect amount. In the US, we have a constitution we abide by. It grants the state power yet it seems the big government is taking over that power. They are monopolizing industries. I think more power should go to the state so there is still a government while the federal government is not overreaching. What are your thoughts on government size? |
