You are right that most presidents have expanded the powers of the executive, but I don't think you are correct when you put Karl Marx Supporters on one side, and Tea Party supporters on the other. Karl Marx supporters want more (Left-Leaning) government, but I believe the Tea Party is all about shrinking government (not getting more Right-Leaning government).
I think lots of the unheralded issues you mention can be solved (or at least can start to be solved) with less government.
I agree with one part of your comment.
