Bottom line is government is getting much too large. It is becoming a giant monster that is out of control and there is not one part of the monster that can fix it because it is so convoluted and wide spreading that the only way to reform the government to serve the people would be total collapse.
Did you read about the people in Haiti who rioted because they couldn't afford food? The prime minister was ousted. We, THE PEOPLE, have the power, but we do not realize this until it comes to desperate measures. The government, in all its fear mongering and supposed power, cannot withstand the entirety of its population marching against them. I'm afraid it is going to take a lot of desperate, hungry, and self sacrificing people in America who have nothing to lose to force change upon the government.
The United States government better be afraid of the people because if the greed and over taxation and rise in everything prices continue, we will become hungry and angry, the two ingredients needed for revolution.

I don't like to believe such pessimistic views on reality. Our government is by far one of the best democracies ever, and I fear losing it to voter stupidity and demands that can't be met realistically.
This is no different from a business consultant. Their job will be to make sure everything is running smoothly, suggest changes, and over all they should be able to cut rocky parts of government while catching all the money scandals along the way.
I believe it needs to be there because it's obvious that no one else is going to take action.
