If you believe government can provide services at a higher quality, more efficiently, and at a lower cost than the private sector then you should support government funded service programs. If you believe government is inefficient, provides lower quality of services and runs amuck on costs, programs, and agency expansions then you should not support the idea of government funded services.

If you favor the private sector scenario you should support limits on the size and scope of government to only those things that can't be addressed in the private sector free market; there by, keeping the government from getting its hands on societal roles that it won't handle well.

If you support a reduction in the size of government, then you must address the risks associated with greed such as exploitation of workers etc. and you must be more vigilant with regards to the potential for private sector abuses and corruption brought on by corporate deceit and unethical conduct.

If you favor large government then you must address the funding of government issue. Large government is funded by the excess wealth produced in a productive society generating large amounts of capital. You must also deal with the quality issues that may be impacted by reduced competitive incentives.

If you favor some combination, you must establish an underlying principle that you can use to guide your decision making when turning certain roles over to government and not others.
