We need a Calvin Coolidge conservative.
Someone like that at POTUS is not going to shrink the govt. Congress holds the purse strings. The WH can propose anything they like, create any program, Congress can just not fund it. On the reverse, the WH can veto appropriations/spending and Congress can override. There are some things both sides can do there, but Congress has much more power with the budget than the POTUS.
