To save the reader time, this article is in 2 parts. Part 1 is a short to the point version, part 2 a longer more detailed examination of the main issue.
Nothing For You Here?
But before I even get to part 1, here's an easy, 3 part question for you, dear reader:
Is the US federal government :
A] too big?
B] too small?
C] about the right size?
Should You Stop Reading Now?
If your answer was either [B], or [C] above, then stop reading right now, you'll just be wasting your precious time, there's nothing for you here.
Instead, all non-believers in a much smaller government should go directly to part 2 of this post.
The "Trump, or DeSantis, Ramaswamy or RFK Jr. For President" Scams. Part 1
that the US government is way, way, way too big and therefor needs to be, at the very least drastically shrunk, ASAP, [if not entirely eliminated, {my preference}], then the short version of this article is to "merely" point out that there is _NOTHING_ in any way, shape, or form, in the to-date revealed plans of either Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy* or RFK Jr. nor of any other candidate, for that matter, that calls for an immediate massive downsizing of the federal government, across-the -board.
Nothing! NADA!
[* If you want a much smaller federal government, don't be fooled by Ramaswamy's promises! Mr Ramaswamy has claimed he wants to eliminate certain select federal agencies, for example the FBI and the IRS, Dept. of Education etc., but not because he knows they are unconstitutional in the first place. If he knew that he'd have to eliminate 1000's of others at the same time too, instead of just cherry-picking the ones whose elimination he thinks would buy him votes, including all welfare and Social Security. Neither does he appear to want to end the war on drugs, or to bring all overseas troops home, as far as I can see. In other words, he's just another run-of-the-mill, Reaganesque conservative gradualist whose cuts would only look good short term but which would inevitably fail.]
Let me repeat that, for emphasis: there is _NOTHING_ in the to-date revealed plans of Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy or RFK Jr. that calls for a massive immediate downsizing of the federal government across-the -board.
Nothing! NADA!
Which means that: should any 1 of these 4 individuals become president in '24, no real changes [other than superficial, purely cosmetic ones] , will occur.
At the end of their term, the federal government will be even bigger than it is right now, it will be involved in more wars, and you will have even less freedom than you have right now, and you'll be paying even more taxes, guaranteed!
OK, so much for part [1] .
[Thinks: "that was easy", wipes hands, self congratulates.].
If you "get it" now, there's really no need for you to read part [2] and probably end up getting even more depressed.
On the other hand, if you don't believe that a much smaller federal government is absolutely necessary, and yet refused to stop reading further as suggested, part 2 might well be essential reading.

Addendum:
My Song “New Revolution”:
Verse [1]:
“This government’s grown too big for its boots,
We’ve got to cut it back down, back down to its roots.
It’s taken most all of our freedom away,
There ain’t much freedom left in the US today”
Chorus:
“We’ve got to start us a new revolution
And get back to the old constitution
We’ve got to stand up and fight for the whole Bill of Rights
Its time to start over again”
From song "New Revolution"
