What's "enough"?  The pro-Big Government people always want
more.  There is never enough.  I wonder what would happen if
they ever said, "OK, the most we will EVER need is X% of the
GDP.  Just give us that, and you can keep the rest.
Forever."  That will never happen, because there is no upper
limit on the amount of resources they want the government to
command.  Until we actually face the horrors of not enough
government, the proper response from Small Government
supporters to every demand for more government money is -
NO!  Can taxes ever be TOO low?  I suppose so, but it's not
something I spend a lot of time worrying about, as it seems
to be an extremely unlikely risk.
