Belief Doubling Down on Government is the Solution than Opposite, Halving it!

Comment on David Brooks' "The Anxiety of Impotence" :

The impotence described is Demosclerorsis defined by Jonathan Rauch as "government's progressive loss of the ability to adapt." with the buildup of interest groups that never die and on other side George Will, who describes it as "barnacles on the ship of state." It appears that Brooks believes a doubling down on more government is the solution rather than the opposite, the halving of government.
