We collectively spend ~3.8T to fund it, so we expect results but we get very little. It's fascinating how the government can do so much but at the same time accomplish so little. There are thousands of laws and regulations but we still face tons of problems. We have welfare and Social Security but people are still poor, Medicare but people are still getting sick, gun laws but gun violence still happens. The military itself is a whole grievance book right there. When a balloon gets too big it pops, that is exactly what happened with the government.

Arguments
The Founding Fathers were strongly anti-federalist, seeing the federal government as a necessary evil that should be as weak and impotent as possible to avoid violating people's rights, that are best guaranteed by local small governments. Ever since Lincoln changed the societal mindset on the matter, convincing everyone that the strong federal government is the only way to assure the fulfillment of people's basic needs (which it did not, as the lynchings continued for a century more after the formal abolition of slavery), the country has been in the downslope of the constantly growing and expanding federal government.
I think the situation will change drastically when cryptocurrencies will become the pillars of the worldwide economy, but until then all of us are slaves of the caprices of whoever resides in Washington DC at the moment.
