Yes trim all the fat, but don't just cut, REPLACE. Get everyday folks in there who have been watching from the sidelines for decades what DOESN'T work... and hire them up with relevant specialty backgrounds for some actual productive policies and projects. Personally I just can't get onboard with tiny to non existent government dreams of the anarcho libertarians, for one thing its un American because there's no way in hell America could have grown an dhad the massive infrastructure build out in the 19th - 20th centuries without federal government funded and (smartly) managed projects. The difference then is they knew how to get shit done and promote industrial and creative problem solving for real world problems for a nation as large as this. I'd much prefer that than total laissez faire / anarchy.
