Big Government

Today, many people use the term big government to describe what they believe to be government overreach and government intrusion in our daily lives at every level. Wikipedia defines Big Government “as a derogatory term generally used by political conservatives, laissez-faire advocates, or libertarians to describe a government that they consider to be excessively large, corrupt and inefficient, or inappropriately involved in certain areas of public policy or the private sector”. But, a recent Gallup poll found that 82% of us – including 56% of Democrats and 78% of independents – believed to be a big threat. The basic problem is, Government has this innate dilemma of balancing between serving and interfering. This was a major concern for our founding fathers. 2014/02/14 User:Jeff
