That's an interesting fiction.
We've been living in a time of smaller government for a long time now. When you compare the United States to other industrialized nations, our government is actually quite small (except for defense, of course). This idea that we need even smaller government is nothing but a cover for increasing corporate control, regardless of whether not the people clamoring for smaller government know it or not.

It's small compared to other nations.
