Collis McKenzie, Chapter 4, Question 4

One of the more controversial subjects in chapter 4 is how much and what areas the government should be involved in. The problem with this topic is that there are valid points that could be made for every side of stance between very heavy government involvement and very light government involvement. Things like the military should obviously be left up to the government, but other areas like the postal service or schooling are more ambiguous because they are services that could be done by private firms at a higher quality. Government jobs such as the DMV have no reason or incentive to be as efficient as possible because no one else could do what they do, but anyone with a map and access to transportation could deliver a letter or package. Personally, I'm not sure whether I more support heavy government involvement or light government involvement because I feel like I don't have enough information yet to make a decision.
