The current "scandals" in Washington are only part of a much bigger problem. Our government has become so large that it can no longer be managed or manage the problems that face it. The USA, like China and Russia, is too big, particularly with our form of government, to function effectively. Its bigness has caused us to get into wars we do not win and made us a host of enemies. Little countries like Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, etc., do not have these issues. They also have largely homogeneous populations. So there is a conundrum: is the size of the USA a blessing, or a continuing problem that will never be solved?
