In the past strong growth in the public sector has also been a drag on the private sector. People, physical resources, money, that would have been in the private sector, instead get pulled in to the government.

We wouldn't have a society without the public sector.

Not literally true, but such a society would likely not be nearly as good as what we have now. Of course the whole point is irrelevant because no one is saying 'eliminate the public sector", that's just an anarchist straw man for your to bash.

Ted, > No, it would complement it as it has in years past.

Deficit is well above $1 trillion annually. That's not a "complement," that's a mortgage.

> We wouldn't have a society without the public sector.

As usual, this is the favorite straw man of big government liberals. Either you're for big government or you're for no government.
