But size of government has a close correlation to the success of the country governed. Bigger being better.

Large governments are correlated with successful economies because unsuccessful economies can't afford the drain of large governments.

Growth in government beyond 20% of GDP is negatively correlated with success of the country governed.

and the USA isn't the government.

Yes, it is.


No it isn't. The USA is the people, the land, the government, the constitution, the history... The government is just the biggest more powerful, most in control organization in the US.
