The total size of government and its hundreds of agencies and departments is a big part of the problem.  An organization chart giving the entire structure of our government, executive, Judicial and Congress would be instructive but impossible to construct.  Many little bureaucracies and offices are almost unknown even within the government itself.  
A complete reform is impossible since these agencies have their own budgets that in many cases are dedicated to keeping them "alive" and growing.  

A study in how bureaucracy works as almost a living thing might reveal how much of it is parasitic and NEVER actually working at its stated purposes.  An entire college could be devoted to studying this multi-layered monster and its pernicious effects on freedom and efficiency. But NO!  Gender studies and multi culturalism rule the roost within most of these liberal cesspools. 

Bigger government equals less freedom every day in every way!!
