I agree with many of your counterpoints to large government, but at the same time, I could write much the same sort of thing about private industry. But the reality is that public and private enterprise both have their successes and excesses. Honest reflection on our economic history since WWII has to recognize that both have worked together to produce the advancement and prosperity seen in the Western world.
I hope we spend the 21st century refining governance in the public and private world, rather than fighting over which side of the economy to eviscerate in search of overly simplistic ideological purity.
