Which is the most unlikely beginning condition, that we get serious
or that we can decide what to do?
When you suggested that your preference is for "a government sized
more like US around WW1 or
earlier", were you referring to the number of personnel or the
amount of dollars spent?
Perhaps he was thinking of one where one or both of those items is
comparable per capita, with the "amount of dollars spent" perhaps
also adjusted for inflation? Or maybe the "amount of dollars spent,"
iow, taken in in taxes, as a fraction of people's paychecks (again
adjusted for inflation) that is comparable to the fraction of the
paycheck taken out for taxes from the earnings of a person then with
a similar job, etc., (realizing that such comparisons are going to be
difficult because so many jobs today did not exist back then, and
some of the jobs that did exist back then are no longer to be found . . . )?
