Thomas Jefferson hoped to make the government as efficient as possible, with little or no waste. He also hoped to have the opportunity to expand the country. Through drastic cuts, he was able to reduce the size of the government by a full 25 percent. He also expanded the United States with the Louisiana Purchase, which nearly doubled its size.
