Elon Musk and the Libertarians Are Lying to You
The U.S. government is too big. It's too small. For decades, American political discourse has been dominated by the idea that "big government" is a problem. But this fundamental assumption is wrong.
They’re lying to us again. The American government isn’t too big or too bloated: it’s too small. And the result of it being too small is a steady erosion of Americans’ freedom over the past forty-four years.
