You , and many anti-Republicans expect perfection out of a political party, the Republicans.

Republicans took over with only a simple majority in 1994.

1.Now you subtract social security, medicare ,Medicaid, HUD, welfare etc. , the thousands of agencies that democrats had already created up to 1994.

2. So now we have no government in 1994.

3. Then you add ONLY the government agencies and programs that the Republican Congress added from 1994 on . And then you will see that there is virtually no government after the Republican Congress ended its term in 2006.

Republicans never had a super majority that is needed to repeal the democrat laws like social security ,medicare etc. which alone are exploding by hundreds of billions per year of government spending. Yet the liberal media and many brainwashed by the liberal media blame Bush and Republicans for this growing government.

Taking inflation into account ( which the media doesn't do when slandering Republicans as big spenders), Look at real graph of discretionary spending as a percentage of GDP and you will see a decrease in government spending during the 12 years of the Republican Congress.

Also the Republican congress stopped Amnesty for illegals and government healthcare ,for 12 years they did this.

Without thinking real hard DHS was created in 2001,and Medicare D was passed in 2003.

And even if they did not repeal "the thousands of agencies that democrats had already created up to 1994", congress has the power of the purse over these agencies. I don't recollect that being used.
