Government is so overgrown and in so many places, most people have no idea. Trimming it down in any significant way in four years will cause tremendous turmoil.

Government budgets are annual. If a group is asked to do more, they can't charge more immediately. The money already has to be in the budget. To keep that buffer, more than is needed has to be spent. If the buffer is used, the budget has to be increased. The growth is continual because the people never stop asking government to do another thing.

Coming in under budget is a huge problem. That's why they buy hundred dollar screwdrivers and high dollar equipment that goes unused. I have never seen government not work that way.

The unfortunate thing is no matter what Trump does, people who think of themselves as conservatives will never stop demanding government take care of things and supporting taxes to cover it. Such progressive-ism has to stop.
