The statement that is irrelevant to President Ronald Reagan's claim that large government is a great problem in the United States is:

“All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.”

This statement focuses on collective responsibility and equitable solutions rather than directly addressing the issue of excessive government size or its impact on individuals and productivity, making it less relevant to the core argument about the problems caused by large government.
