And congressmen need term limits. Also it depends on what you mean by a smaller government, do you mean the government having very few departments?
Things like FEMA, EPA, etc basically everyone on this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_federal_agenciesThe only things the federal government should do is enforce a few certain laws and protect the country from invaders as outlined in the Constitution. Everything else can be handled by the state governments.
I love how all you small government faggots are so in favor of their local or state government running everything like fucking tyrants. You realize the smaller governments have the most corruption right? They're not in the spotlight, they hire their friends. It's like you guys are blind and deaf.
If the best government is that which governs least, how do you explain the socialist-based governments of places like Finland and other Nordic countries where people are really happy?

It is disgustingly bad.
