Imagine if just one of the Republicans running for prez would just say the following things.
I am for a small federal government.
I will with a republican congress (and anyone else willing to work with me), rid of us of 90% of the federal government.
I will close the following agencies completely. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health & Human Services, Homeland Security, HUD, Interior, Labor, Transportation. I will also get rid of or privatize, PBS, NPR, Amtrak, Peace Corp, to name a few. I will also remove all law enforcement agents and enforcement abilities from all non LE federal agencies. And combine all federal LE agencies into one (FBI, ATF, US marshalls and the rest) and limit its size.
All regulations and mandates created by federal agencies since 1970 are repealed. Agencies will be prohibited from writing ANY regulation and return that function to congress.
I will work to repeal the 16th & 17th amendments.
I will work to add new amendments limiting the federal government further to prevent regrowth. Term limits and lifetime limits for all federal elected offices for one. Limits of federal employees as well, lifetime careers with government will be prohibited.
That is just a few things.......
