I would agree because 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely' and we allow goverment to become larger with tax payer money (which is kind of like poking a sleeping bear with a stick)

However we must deal with things the way that they are, and the way things have been 'manulipulated' is that some bad chacters are using corrupt judicial system employees as sheilds..so its sort of like trying to disarrm a timebomb. So I think in some cases giving 1 branch a large budget can help cancel out another out of control branch...but that is just my thoughts.

But I think that about 95% (maby 99%) of the time I would agree with the article that you first wrote
