The government may not be our "buddy," but it is far from being an enemy. It must be funded; the very government some claim is so greedy is the same that allows us our freedom, and even the ability to have an e-economy in the first place.
I agree that waste and fraud need to be cut before new taxes are levied (effeciency is NEVER a bad thing) but folks oughta lay-off the anti-government angle. We're Americans because there is an American government, and visa versa. There's always a price tag; it's just a fact of life.
