The only people claiming to even believe such a proposition are the ones 
attempting to use it to undermine the system. Like the tea party -

"We will repeal Obama Care, then pass it again, but defund it, and give 
money back the rich, then turn all government programs into capitalistic 
ones, run by the very people that sell you the insurance this was all 
created to protect you against. Trust us! We are the new, better 
government!"

Had a real WTF moment when I realize this is almost *exactly* what they 
are proposing, well, after impeaching everyone they don't like, for 
things that are not offenses, repelling half the shit their own party 
spent the last 30 years claiming they cared about (like infrastructure 
spending), and changing laws, and the constitution, to make it all more 
"Jesus!".

No one thinks the government isn't part of the problem. But, only 
idiots, liars, and would be dictators, claim that the solution to the 
problem is to completely ignore why, defund everything, then replace it 
all with libertarian, Jesus freak, capitalists, who **defend** the 
practice of shipping jobs out of the country, want to reduce the minimum 
wage to 50% of poverty level, and give themselves a pay raise. This 
isn't "understanding" the problem, or "fixing" the system, it is either 
blind stupidity *or* an attempt to, as a few of the outliers, which have 
been quietly swept under the rug, have hinted at, creating a new 
theocracy, because this whole, "Do what the people want.", thing didn't 
work for the people that wanted absolute power to dictate everything 
from morality, to social status, to life styles, to all the "lesser" people.

The government isn't the problem, the people intentionally trying to 
break the damn thing are. The solution isn't the demolish it, its to 
patch the damn holes, stop spending money on Senator Q's jewel encrusted 
gold fish collection (marked in the filing department as "school 
resources for my state"), and take rational actions. Sadly, the only 
people really pushing to do this, since, normally it would be political 
suicide, are the bad guys, from the cast of Looney Toons.
