Same family as Kirk Cameron's Crocoduck, I believe (a crocoduck!).

I agree with you 100%. The simple reason is Socialism.
A pure capitalistic system only has the necessary parts, basically the military and a governing body. Anything else isn't essential and you are fooling yourself if you think welfare and state run museums are essential. People lived fine without government, and in most cases, better. Look at Hong Kong as an example. There are less people in poverty there than there are in america because it is easier to start a business due to lack of regulation. They are also motivated because they know they wont get paid for not working.
As we move towards socialism (you can't deny it, we have over the past 100 years), the government expands and adds a lot of unessential positions. The closer you get to a command system, the more government grows. We are not a capitalist country, and haven't been for a while. We have a ton of government regulations and intervention. We are a mixed economy, moving closer to socialism than capitalism, hence the reason we have such a large, mostly unessential government.

I find it incredibly depressing that anyone outside the Bush administration is still defending that war.
