So far government doesn't seem to be shrinking at all, just being made less effective. If you believe the work state employees do is worse than useless then go ahead and cheer. I have trouble taking someone seriously when they look at all the functions of government and say not just that they are an ineffective use of tax dollars (cliché and debatable), but that we'd be better off if their funds were simply set on fire than put to use. Because that's what's happening now. I think what you actually want to happen is for Congress to reduce budgets. Until that happens, you may want to keep the cork in the bottle.

>So far government doesn't seem to be shrinking at all, just being made less effective. We're just getting started, it's barely 11 days since Trump got in and started. It will be a while until things settle into a new arrangement. >If you believe the work state employees do is worse than useless then go ahead and cheer. I sincerely believe that the US government does its best work when it is doing nothing beyond what is strictly necessary, which frankly isn't a lot compared to its size right now. >that we'd be better off if their funds were simply set on fire than put to use. Considering we're trillions of dollars in debt, I applaud not spending money. It's ridiculous that the state of our finances is considered acceptable. >I think what you actually want to happen is for Congress to reduce budgets. That is indeed one of the ultimate goals. We'll see if House Republicans get in line this time.

  FWIW I'm glad you're here politely making your case despite the downvotes. I'll keep trying to understand your perspective.
