While government is the means by which most problems can be solved, government can go too far in its inclination to solve problems. That's what brought John L. Sullivan to say, “The best government is that which governs least.” Through the years, that saying has been refined to the more polished, "That government which governs least, governs best"-- words we've come to rally around. Truth be told, though, those words are not always true. Yes, government can go too far. Yes, it does stick its nose where it shouldn't at times. But to make an all-cases claim that the less government there is, the better, is wrong. And we should be wise enough to see that.
