The bigger government gets, the less freedoms the people have. It is critically important not to ask government to solve problems (government is bad at solving most problems), and to seek ways to shrink government.

I reject the implication, that corporations are always better at solving most problems.

Id rather seek ways to maximize liberty, and while they frequently can mean limiting the government, the act of shrinking the government is not _necessary_, and even works against my goals if the government is the one keeping my liberty maximized

The US gives us the perfect sandpit to test this theory.

Their healthcare provided by corporations is vastly more expensive and has much worse outcomes than healthcare provided to billions of people by governments.

Same for higher education.

But US healthcare is also vastly more expensive and has worse outcomes than healthcare provided privately in much of the developed world; most of the developed world doesn't use sole government provision, and much doesn't use sole government funding; lots of places have private providers and private insurance with a government backstop (conceptually like the US system, but without the holes.)
