Daniel McAdams on big government in America

America has massive problems, which can be summed up in two words — overwhelming government. Despite some impressive exposures from DOGE, our chief problem is being exacerbated.  Government spending is increasing, government debt is increasing, President Trump threatens new wars, and now we’re in the midst of a trade war.  The troops are not coming home, the 1,000 bases are not being closed, and the “foreign aid,” is not being eliminated.  In order to get rid of overwhelming government, all of these variables have to move in the opposite direction.
