Move to one whose policies you agree more with. everything a trade off, but the bloated fed needs a 1000 cal diet plan or bariatric surgery if the diet doesn't work.
1. Look up the word exponential. You don't mean exponential.
2. The size of the federal workforce fell over Obama's admin.
But I'll agree we need less federal government and less regulation.
