Been listening to the radio, why does every business owner always suggest to cut government spending and reduce the size? Tin-foil hat moment, smaller government is easier to persuade than a big machine so they can more easily get their way with a smaller more limited government

So confused a little about these tariffs, just seen a clip of the king of kings himself say the downturn is in effect like taking medicine, but he must be expecting a bounce back for the "medicine" to have worked, will that only happen when the rich have bought enough of the dip?
