I see Many people on here saying that the US gov. should be reduced in size? I also see that the US constituion says that the government needs to be representive to the size of the population? Now, beings that the populations has grown a lot since that time, wouldn't that mean that the number of people in the government should be increased not decreased? And would taking the size of government down only give more power to fewer people, getting closer to what we were trying to get rid of by writing the Constitution. We wanted the governments power to be spread out....and reducing the size would only condense the power.....and then the population to representive ratio would go down? Your thoughts please.

I have to agree with you and I personally think anyone who says we should reduce the size of our government is uneducated. I think we should increase the amount of people we have working for us but make sure the people we elect are working for us and not for themselves. People should not just go out and vote without becoming informed on the candidates.

I think we should work to reframe the debate.
The issue isn't whether we should have a big government or a small government. No one likes paying taxes.
The issue is whether we should demand a GOOD GOVERNMENT.

I believe that we should allow the constitution to do its thing.
