A nation has a problem when more than 10% of it's GNP is tied up in government. Sure government spends the money it gets. But it is economically more efficient to allow private industry to provide services to the people.
A government providing social services is the devil. There are MANY situations where things need regulation. And it IS the business of governments to undertake such tasks. However, I believe that there needs to be a better balance of regulatory ridiculosness, and proper consumer protection.
