I think I’ve heard that the USA federal gov is bigger than in the past, as in controlling more of an American’s life than in its history. Is it like government revenue divided by gdp? What about minting?

    Thank you for the answer. Bingo: I have absolutely exposed myself to a lot of right media. As they would may want me to ask: aee isn’t a government that charges a 100% income tax bigger than one that charges a 50% one? I agree “big” isn’t well-defined, but I’m trying to get at the idea of a gov having a bigger influence on its subjects’ lives.
