    One mind says, this is the result of generations of conservatives believing their own marketing about the state being bloated and useless and can be done more efficiently by making it more private sector-like. The previous generations were just using it to appeal to the rubes but this one actually means it. So they’ve purged everyone with the institutional knowledge to keep the basic functions up and now they’ve been caught flat-footed.

    This is truly the primary issue. These idiots believe the government is really large, despite decades of austerity.

      The two takes aren’t entirely mutually exclusive. They can both think that the state needs to be shrunk and that the negative consequences are irrelevant.
