>>But the EPA hasn't been dismantled, and we've had many Republican presidents. Regulations and budgets have been cut... That’s exactly how you dismantle a large government agency. You cut budgets until the organization is so crippled it can’t do its job, then you point at how ineffective it is and use that to drum up enough political will to abolish it. “My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” - Grover Norquist

In your view, is there any way to curtail a bloated bureaucracy without being accused of trying to destroy it completely? Can a bureaucracy ever get too big, or to the point that its negative effects outweigh its positives? > “My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” - Grover Norquist This quote doesn't imply desire to destroy it, but capability. The desire of people being more powerful than their government is not a radical idea.
