I have relegated myself that outside of strict libertarians no one is going to drastically reduce the size of federal gov't. I'll take the guy that at least wants a not as big government. The scary part is that with President Obama and a democratically controlled congress/senate on course for some unprecedented federal growth; there is no going back. It almost never gets smaller. Strangely enough, and I can't source this, I am pretty sure I've read the last time our Federal Gov't actually got smaller was under Clinton.
