Good. Intense concentrations of power are a problem, by definition. We did literally base the US system of government on this concept.

  Interesting that everybody is looking to the Federal Government to solve their problems now.

    I don't see any conflict between wanting the federal government to be small, while still wanting that federal government to be in charge of some things - this is literally the reason for having a federation in the first place

      The Federal Gov can’t be small and be in charge of all the things at the same time (not your statement but the general expectation I was referring to). It’s a balancing act but we always seem to strive for one extreme or the other.

        I wasn’t making any reference to the size of the federal government, I was referencing the first year first day basic concept of separation of powers.
