> Government only grows
But, say, in western Europe, a ton of things used to be run solely by the government (water, energy production, steel, carbon, telcos, radio, tv, train, local transport, air transport, postal services) and have now moved out of the government purview, isn't that the opposite of "government always grows"?
- galbar 4y agoYet in the European country I live in, taxes have not stopped growing throughout the last 20 years. The government just finds different ways of spending the money, not necessarily related to the welfare system.
- MandieD 4y agoAnd given the degradation of the postal service and passenger rail system since privatization, one might accept growing government as the lesser of two evils.
