From a gov services standpoint, the ROI in general has been low. Focusing just on the investments; defense, social security and medicare are the biggest resource hogs and hence where the spotlight should focus. Unfortunately, these three areas are political hot potatoes with massive entrenched interests. Republicans are always fighting defense cuts and dems are always fighting soc sec cuts. So I dont buy into the "small gov" argument unless someone starts addressing the big resource hogs.
