The country is almost 340 million people.

That’s 340,000,000 individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and geographies.

They wake up every morning and go about their lives. Things like planes need to stay in the air, water needs to be clean, trains need to not derail in the middle of towns, dams need to stay not only structurally sounds but in some cases keep producing electricity.

The USA is the fourth largest country by area in the entire world.

To say that the government is too big and complex and it should be smaller and simpler feels like a drastic oversimplification and incredibly simple thing to say.
