American government since the beginning of the 20th century has been on a nearly uninterrupted trend of increasing state power, both domestically and internationally. Politicians sometimes pretend to be anti-government to get votes, but every administration spends more than the previous one.

I wouldn’t call that static.

Meh... Not really true. In aggregate, perhaps, but things go back and forth.

Not only in aggregate. The only exceptions to each administration spending more than the previous one (in real terms, inflation-adjusted) were immediately post WW1 and WW2. Look it up.
