It appears that the "role of government" and "what should government be' needs to be defined. This way you will have a standard to measure your statement by. I will give you an example. I don't expect you to use them, just to give you an idea what I am talking about.

1. The role of government is to provide the people with the things they can not provide for themselves.
Example. National Defence, Highways, Healthcare, etc.

2. The government should be efficient. If it is efficient it will not be to large or to small.
Example. After Hurricane Kattrina, Pres. Bush declared the coast area a disaster area. According to the news, that set 23 agencies into action. Do you wonder why nothing was accomplished?
