Big government

I have friends who work for large corporations and they often point out the problems associated with bigness. We often see cases where corporate deficiencies erupt when one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. The most recent example is General Motors where the new CEO who has worked her way up through the ranks over the past 30 years testified in congress that she was unaware of serious problems that have been going on for ten years. There is no company that compares in size with the federal government and it is time to ask the question, is the government to big. We have basically the same system that we had when the population was much smaller. Perhaps a group should be challenged with the task of proposing ways to overcome this problem of bigness as it will not get any smaller in the future.
