Just a quick show of hands...

How many of our fine readers/contributors feel that the Federal Government has grown far beyond the scope of its Constitutional boundaries?

Furthermore, how many of you all think that the Federal Government has officially reached a level of size and activity that reasonable oversight is simply beyond the ability of the Country (read: citizens), and most certainly beyond the point where internal (read: self-policing) oversight is sufficient and/or wise?

Just curious...I've been thinking a lot about it lately. I'm not coming up with anything profound, but it does bother me rather badly at times.
