I prefer a larger centralized government with a smaller state and local presence. Having lived in PA, I can tell you the bloat from 'too many chiefs, not enough indians' is ridiculous. My pay stubs had roughly double the itemized deductions(and twice the outlay) with less tangible benefit. The distrust of big govt.(Federal) has created fiefdoms of every shack and shantytown. A street that bordered my old town had their own paid! council. They had maybe 30 people! This silly overlap, along with the backroom corruption it invites, is good reason to shitcan much of the small fry in favor of centralized oversight. My memory is wonky, but I. recall PA having the second largest state budget, even though it is sixth?, seventh? in population? Where does the cash go...cause it ain't the roads!
Now compare that to my time in Georgia, for instance. Less payroll deductions in number and cost, less trailer park governments, more tangible services rendered. Why? Organization. The size of government to me is a non issue...it's the efficiency that matters. 'Less chiefs' has been better in my experience.
