Visionaries,

"What is the cost of not having a government? How much does the Government
save us in the long run?"
Certainly sane people prefer the most costly, bloated government to the cost
of anarchy. But such a comment is an exercise in drawing a false dichotomy
and/or missing the point. Making the point of that government is too big
is not to advocate eliminating it, but to bring
spending/intrusiveness/regulations/authority to an appropriate level--all of
which will doubtless be the subject of debate.
Your comment seems analogous to an obese person arguing against the concept
of over-eating because eating is most beneficial--especially compared to not
eating.
