It was arrived at by incrementalism from the other side. First one thing was added to the list of things that government should do, then another, then another. The edifice won't be blown up.

But I still think you're talking about a minority of people even if you include those who would like to see most of it gone, but don't trust anyone to implement the whole thing. Besides, you've got a lot of these "favorite" (and "necessary") departments that people simply can't envision an alternative to. That means you've got an education problem and you simply cannot educate everyone on everything all at once. But you might be able to educate a majority on one or two things and get that done. Then, you might be able to gain sufficient trust to educate/risk doing something else. Lowell C. Savage It's the freedom, stupid!
