The truly horrible thing is, that it might not be possible. That the federal government has grown so complex, that it is no longer possible to maintain a modicum of control or to stop its further growth without destructive action. Simply because it is beyond anyone to refactor the thing is a more constructive manner.

Congress needs to be responsible for restructuring the government. Even if you support what President Trump is doing, it'll all be reversed on day 1 of the next Democratic administration. Avoiding this kind of yoyoing every four years is one of the reasons the Founding Fathers made all proposed major changes to the government receive public debate and approval at least five times (House+Senate committee then House+Senate floor then president).

Uh there are plenty of people with constructive ideas about government reform.
