Thousands of pages of regulations, millions of employees, and trillions of tax dollars . . . Big Government is bigger than ever, and as the behemoth fattens up and stretches out, it squeezes America’s entrepreneurs, workers, and families—limiting choices, reducing opportunities, and revoking the pursuit of happiness.
Every year, taxes increase, regulations pile higher, the cost of living goes up, and our quality of life suffers. Size Matters shows through facts, figures, and head-spinning stories that as government increases in quantity, Americans suffer a loss in life quality. It explains how Big Government:
- reduces family income;
- drives up the cost of housing, healthcare, and most every other consumer product or service;
- hampers employment;
- misdirects entrepreneurial efforts; and
- stifles vital marketplace creativity and innovation
Bristling with drama and data, Size Matters exposes the real daily drawbacks of Big Government. Want a sample? Reason magazine adapted portions of Size Matters for a cover story. Read it here.

Size Matters is a witty, irreverent and cutting take on the intrusion of government into our daily lives. It’s chock full of telling tidbits, and it gives an entertaining history of how our government turned from a carefully circumscribed guardian of liberty into a voracious leviathan responsible for hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations restricting our pursuit of happiness.

Miller has a deft way of finding fresh examples that are memorable and quotable. Although the subject matter in other hands can be depressing, Miller manages to keep his arguments lucid, smart, and just light enough to be read at bedtime.
