Ultimately, the only rational conclusion I've been able to reach is that the best government is the smallest one. Around here, saying so often gets one downmodded.
It could be because small government advocacy is often associated with dogmatic irrationality. Maybe there's a way to reword rational small-government arguments to make it more clear they have a rational, rather than dogmatic, basis?
It could also be because there's a path dependence issue; how does one actually get from where we are to where a particular argument wants us to be?
