When you elect conservatives they don't make government smaller. They make it bigger - and slower, and less effective, by putting more cronies on the payroll:
Under Clinton from 1992 to 2000, according to Princeton political scientist David Lewis, political appointees in the federal government dropped by nearly 17 percent – from 3,423 to 2,845. From 2000 to 2004, that figure climbed back up 12.5 percent to 3,202.
I believe the right used to call this sort of thing "bloat."
