Once the optimum size of a government (a management team) is determined, that government will be in a better position to economically manage the resources of the society.
Theoretically, the real political spectrum goes from zero government (anarchy) on one side of the spectrum, to overwhelming government (totalitarianism) on the other side. The cost of government along this spectrum is what the citizens should be debating. Do citizens want to spend $10,000 each for their government or do they want to spend only $5,000? Do they want to spend $20,000?
Also, if the money supply is constantly being tampered with by the Federal Reserve, how are citizens supposed to evaluate what quality of government they are getting for their money?(1)
All of these are the proper questions for citizens to be debating, not how to get special privileges out of a government endlessly. Is it any wonder all governments endlessly expand and eventually become "too big to fail" themselves. Right now, the U.S. government has the world economy so tied up to its currency it's literally "too big to fail." So how does a government endlessly expand? It expands by playing the needs of the poor off the needs of the rich. It provides endless social benefits to the poor and endless military security and special legislation to the rich. Both require expenditures, expenditures the gov funds through ever more taxes and ever more debt. Look how both the GOP under Bush expanded the government and the Dems under Obama are doing the same. Look at the ever increasing deficit and debt.
The only way it will end -- short of bloody violent revolution as too many govs have ended -- is for citizens to realize that they have had their attention on the wrong political spectrum. They need to wake up and vote out ALL of the incumbents in Congress and then focus on electing Congresspeople that will address the Real Political Spectrum. Unfortunately all of the Congresspeople should be replaced for it is obvious that under these "leaders" government has done nothing but expand way beyond Consitutional limites and the money supply is being destroyed. Accordingly, none of these "public servants" have upheld their oaths of office and the excessive terms in office most of them display are evidence of the excesses they have allowed, or even fostered, on their watch.
Citizens should continue to vote out every congress man and woman until an entire new crop of real leaders emerges, a crop that sues for Constitutional applications.(2) If members of Congress, and officers in the Executive aren't literally foaming at the mouth for Constitutional application, they aren't sincere and you an be reasonably certain they're pretenders seeking government expansion through more debt, more taxes, more consolidation and more conflict.(3)
