TSA

A story that the Right needs to remember and explain:

1. Big bureaucracies are inherently dumb.
2. The Federal Government is the biggest bureaucracy in the world.
3. The Federal Government is the dumbest organization in the world.

The TSA (see link above) is maliciously dumb.  And yet, it is no more inherently rigid and unresponsive that any other government entity.  It's just more visible. 

The Right desperately needs to start telling that story again.  

Many years ago, the Right actively told the story of just how harmful government really was to society.   But then Republicans took control of government and we basically stopped telling that story.  As a result - and even thought government is far larger - the public and the media pay far less attention to the costs and consequences government; instead, they are clamoring for even bigger government.

Until we begin telling that story consistently and clearly again, it will be hard to convince the public of the importance of limited government.
