NOTHING YOU DO ON A DAILY BASIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT PURVUE... except maybe beating off. And if the government could figure out how to regulate that it would.

I want the government a tenth of its current size.

Do you know what would need to be cut to shrink the size of the federal government by ninety percent.

Social Security
Medicare and Medicaid
Farm Subsidies
Federal highway funding
The Coast Guard
The Military
Education Grants
State Grants of all kinds
Disaster assistance and relief

The list goes on and is too long to list.

WWII would have ended up very differently without a Strong Federal government.

The Federal govt has few duties.
Establish Justice,
Insure domestic Tranquility,
Provide for the common defense,
Promote the general Welfare,
Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity (Children)

Lots of fat to cut on the bone there...Lots of it...

There would have been no WWII if our STRONG FEDERAL GOVT. had kept their noses out of European affairs 20 years earlier. By intervening on the side of the Brits and French, we set the stage for an even bloodier conflict 20 years later.
