3. Government is too big is some places........
and not big enough in others. It's like when you hit middle age, and the weight you carry shifts places, and you end up looking like a stork or a pear or... The secret government is far too large, and the same people run it as have been running it for years.

The Pentagon is bloated beyond control, the school system is over-regulated and starved. The CIA manages to get funding, but affordable housing doesn't.

It's not a matter of size, exactly, but of political priorities.
