Love how you framed that. Very "Republican Classic".
The best description for small govt I ever heard (was from one of the Lincoln Project guys I think) was basically this:
"We don't want the people who work at the DMV to be running more aspects of our lives".
Personally I think the government mostly protects folks from moneyed interests (not as well as it used to), but I take their point. The DMV should be an easy spot for good customer service - repetitive tasks, been doing it for decades, something most people engage in... and yet it's a nightmare if you ever have to set foot in there.
At least that's been my experience in both Red and Blue states.
