I enjoy reading M. Alex Stephens' articles. They are well written and entertaining. But I disagree with his view that the huge federal government is "necessary," as stated in his editorial titled, "A thank you to the government."

The federal government may have the best intentions, and citizens appreciate these intentions, but in reality the federal government does not achieve what it sets out to do, but instead creates unintended consequences, waste and inefficiency.
