subject: An Interesting Approach On "big Government" [print this page] It has become so fashionable to decry "big government" that if it were any other trend it would became almost pass and out of fashion. But suspicions remain high, and as the sentiment goes back to the very founding of the Republic indeed, the Revolution was waged against giant, faraway government it is going to be hard to convince otherwise perfectly reasonable americans why more government, not less, is important to achieve that generous society we all believe in.
Or at a minimum take for granted.
For many are the sources of pride which has as its genesis governmental foresight and largesse. From the intercontinental railroad to the internet, from state parks to countrywide roads, it has been the United States government that has started and developed the methods by which the country has flourished and, as with the internet, the entire world has benefited.
Without the kind of big government many citizens decry, there would be no cell phones, x-rays, computer microchips, telephones, telegrams, radars, and more much , much more . Every one of those inventions was somehow connected to government money and some kind of government program and government agency or dept.
To make certain, there's much to fear in an out-of-control government that's almighty, for power corrupts, and comprehensive power corrupts absolutely. But being huge in itself is no crime or shame, and in all honesty it is typically perfectly mandatory so as to build and maintain the kind of society US citizens have got very comfortable with having.
Many libertarians and other small-government proponents like to point out how genius-inventors single-handedly revolutionized the world but fail to consider the social context in which such people could grow, an environment of government funding which has made crucial differences, for example those in the shape of systematic grants, educational financial scholarships, and fixed financial support.
