We are working twards a government that is a greater portion of a shrinking economy, it is a load on the people , why is a government better or worse than a business if it takes your money and limits your freedom? The government grows at a rate that has nothing to do with the rate of population growth.
Six of one meets half dozen of another.
Do you really think that the people of the US need a government that is larger every year foreever?

Being as the population is growing, I would imagine that we will need more cops, teachers, firemen and other types of government workers. We could get by without so many military marching bands, and we hardly need both the Blue Angels AND the Thunderbirds. They could flip a coin to see which gets canned. Or they could make nice and SHARE. They are both on the same team, after all.
I am not for a big or a small government per se. I am for a government that has the power to prevent Big Business from taking away our freedoms and bilking us and getting away with it.
But NO ONE is going to shrink the government by 10%, no matter what they say. Anyone who says they will do it is ignorant of reality.
You ought to read up on sequestration,
NO ONE has to do it , it is already done.
Sequestration is an across the board cut that takes effect like an automaton, if Congress simply does nothing more.
Oh my and will every one of them deplore it!
I would like to know why the Blue Angels bother you , the government has thousands of less usefull and more expensive things that it runs for less public good will.
If you want to look up the cost of F-18s with blue paint on them and compare this to the cost of F-18s in grey paint , then you will know the real cost that you are complaining of. The Blue angels do not increase nor decrease the Navys inventory of aircraft , pilots or maintenience personell.
If you want to get rid of something useless , lets get rid of the Department of Education and the BATF, those cost more than the Blue Angels , Thunderbirds and Golden Knights by a large factor , but can hardly demonstrate as much utility.
