Big government must be reversed but every time it got bigger in the last 80 years because of Democrats, the Republicans did not reverse it when they gained power.
**********
Of the last 84 years since the Democrats gained control of he House in 1930, the GOP has only had control of all three components simultaneously (Presidency, US Senate, US House) for 4 years total, or 5% of 84 years. One could make a case that they had less opportunity than people assume from the figures on the Presidency alone (about 50%).

No. Instead, in those 4 years, we got TSA, NSA, No Child, etc. etc. etc.

Not ONCE, that I know of, has any law/dept/etc. been rescinded/abolished/0’d out. The best that came about was the ‘tweaking of welfare’, no termination, just refining the system.
