Quote from RedDuke:
I know about federal departments, and the fact that you drink clean water, have decent guarantee that the food you buy is safe, and so on.... is all part of "big" government.
The clean water is provided by the town, not the federal government. The government has regulations designed to keep people and companies from polluting water, but that can be handled at the state level, since all of the land resides at that level anyway. As for food being safe....LOL. I'm in the consumer packaged goods industry. I can tell you first hand how inept and bloated the FDA is. The Federal government is inefficient on every possible level. It is efficient ONLY at national defense. THAT'S IT. Even then I'd argue use of the word "efficient", but no one can do it better.

Would love to hear you find something bad about such government "intrusion" in people's lives. This was just a small examples, there are countless others.

This is a joke, right? You're joking. You've got to be.
