Given that the vast majority of government employment happens in education, health care, transportation services and utilities, the part where "large government" is of actual concern to me has _very_ little to do with its actual cash flow and employment numbers and a lot to do with crappy regulatory environments.
What about the part where a large section of the population has a vested interest in growing gov, while at the same time (as in the link I provided) being unable to criticize it?
It's not like you are going to go on and argue it's efficient or something...
This is all rather moot. The EU's days are numbered.

You mean where the user also invoked the right to be forgotten? You mean like how background checks used to happen in the past too and where writing a letter to your newspaper about something counts for exactly the same? You mean like how this disfunction has literally nothing to do with government size and everything to do with a government's tolerance for political expression, regardless of its size?

Efficiency has zero to do with this. Private companies can do this just as much as government institutions. You conflate issues of the state with issues that generally apply to any institution, whether public, private, large, small, for-profit or non-profit.
