Primarily that the government should be small enough you could drown it in a bathtub (but strong enough to survive) – because otherwise one day you'll get Donald Trump in charge of a Leviathan https://twitter.com/jjcdotexe/status/1341082175366701064
The bigger the ship of state, the harder it is to steer and adapt it to society's changing needs
And the bigger the damage that can be done by having it run by a sociopath

I'm less opposed to large government the lower you get down the food chain
If Durham did something ridiculous, it's easy enough for me to move to Bahama or Rougemont
If the US does something ridiculous, it's quite an upheaval to move to Canada or Mexico https://twitter.com/marshallderks/status/1341084794042654721

The entire population of all of Scandinavia combined is about the size of Texas
The idea they have a "large government" is silly https://twitter.com/radiofreetony/status/1341093123234156548

I'd be fine with that, but the inevitable reality is that a government gets more sclerotic as it gets larger and there are more consequences to amending any parts of it https://twitter.com/denny_norris/status/1341094855083233280
I get the % of GDP argument, but there are still tremendous issues of scale. Even Germany is only 1/4 the size of our population https://twitter.com/db1212013/status/1341096917388943360
No organization is even remotely close to the size of the federal government
The US Government employs about 4.5M people. Walmart is the largest private sector employer and comes in at only 1.3M domestic, 2.2M global
And that's not even getting into the effects of govt policies https://twitter.com/donorshatehim/status/1341097188227571712

If liberals want to cap the size of government at the size of Walmart, that's fine with me
Do you think the North Carolina State Bar is a federal agency? https://twitter.com/mikejon51688372/status/1341098957271781376
And if you think my rates are contingent on a government-protected monopoly, you clearly don't know how many law schools or lawyers there are in this country
677K are in the Department of Defense, according to the Office of Personnel Management -- not broken down by active duty vs civilian though, just department-level https://twitter.com/greatlimmick/status/1341100327198732288
Don't think it will ever be politically feasible to rightsize the federal government in any meaningful way
I'd just freeze it at current levels, and reshuffle internally as needed (e.g. if Congress wants a Bureau of Nudity Censors, abolish ICE to free up personnel slots) https://twitter.com/simality/status/1341103364403281920
