My model does not call for «bigger» or «smaller», but «smarter».
I already explained that there are two forms of government possible. Limited, and unlimited. You can only choose one.

And you are choosing unlimited, since you abhor the limited form and like most people mistake the current level of government as simply requiring a few tweaks in order to function smoothly.

The limited government has only two real jobs, to enforce the law, and collect taxes to do that. When laws are themselves limited, then everyone can clearly understand the law, and arrange their lives around what that is. Today, with hundreds of thousands of pages of law in each sector, nobody really understands what's going on.

Small is not for the sake of small. Small is for the sake of sane organization. Small government can't take over society.
