Yes of course the govt is endlessly growing. It’s a bad thing.
But that’s not what your statement said.
So, I agree that it should have been clearer.

In between Office Space and Idiocracy Mike Judge is one of the people who "get it" in the media. He needs to do a whole movie about our government. It would be a rehashing of those two movies though.
I have people Skills!
This is most of the government employees I had to deal with.
The first goal of any manager, especially a goobermint one, is to create a buffer / scapegoat. And they continue onward.
IF at some point, budget cuts happen or they happen to need to gain reelection points, they underlings to cut.
Vicious cycle that we have little to no choice in controlling.

Yep
I worked for state government but I had no staffers and saved OK tax payer untold millions of dollars...probably close to 1 billion.
It was my job to use our tax budget and stretch it as far as I could on new project design. And I took that seriously.

An oldie but still relevant.
Governmentium
A research institution announced the discovery of the heaviest element known to science.
The new element has been tentatively named "Governmentium ". Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take over 4 years to complete when it would normally take less than a second.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass."
