In my thinking, a “big federal government” is NECESSARY (at least at some level) for us to maintain a LARGE standing military to protect us from foreign threats and maintain superpower status.

Okay, now I know why the Dept. of Education, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U. S. Forest Service, The E.P.A., the IRS, agents of the Comptroller of the Currency (bank examiners) and every other alphabet agency has armed agents and SWAT teams.

Thank you for clarifying that /sarc.

Please take some classes in basic English and work on your reading comprehension. Never did I say I agree with domestic agencies being “large” or “armed like a military.” I said I was for a large standing Army (i.e. DoD) to deal with exterior threats to the country.

I only want a “large government” for the purpose of maintaining a large DoD military for foreign threat and the projection of and protection of American interests abroad.

I don’t want other bloated bureaus - and I want the DoD to managed carefully so it is not wasting money. I am NOT for unlimited spending and I AM for responsible spending. You should never spend more than you take in. This is true for a family or a country.
