Administration becomes more complex with globalization.
Reduction in federal government usually leads to increases in state and local government or to neglect. Increases in state and local government leads to increased local taxes property taxes and fees, things that in the present campaign were not mentioned.

Name a civilian Federal department that has substantially less people now.
