Growth in bureaucracy comes at the cost of individual freedom. The U.S. federal bureaucracy and number of regulations – along with other western countries – has exponentially increased since the beginning of the 20th century. The permanent institutional bureaucracy, the [[civil service system]], becomes an unelected fourth branch of government whose primary interests are often career advancement, job security, and avoiding responsibility for failure.

Since the founding of the [[Post Office]], campaign promises of "job creation" by some candidates often means "government job creation," which comes at the expense of taxpayers and the [[private sector]]'s ability to create private sector jobs, and hence more private sector taxpayers to support government.
