My reading of history convinces me that Thomas Jefferson wasn’t the only person at the time with ideas, and it’s a good thing there was a number of Founding Fathers with varied views who balanced each other out through compromise.
Simply reducing the size of government does nothing to improve the quality, especially if you remove mostly the good.
The real bugger is getting people to agree on what’s good and what’s bad.
