Preparing the ground to massively cut the size of the state. "Small enough to drown in a bathtub" has been the goal of her ilk for generations. I thought I had clearly said this. (There is a great blind spot in the thinking.

Truss and her co-religionists haven't heard the maxim, "be careful what you wish for, because you might get it.")
