Ronald Reagan said the scariest words in the English language were "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

C. S. Lewis says and I agree with him that the problem is when the pretensions of government get pitched too high. Government is necessary, but when it is made a panacea for all our problems it becomes dangerous.
"Limited government" does not mean "living with no government". It's not like we have to choose between socialism and utter anarchy.

I live in Maryland, and funny thing, I didn't see any of those anti-government nuts protesting about the county and state snow plows digging us out from 70 inches of snow this winter. I'd say government is a great thing to have around when you really need it.
"when you really need it" is the perfect point
