The "Feds" you refer to are the folks in the House of Representatives that got elected in the mid-term elections.
The GOP/TP path is towards fewer parks, fewer recreation opportunities, reduced Fish and Game, Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Departments, reduced hatcheries, reduced wildlife and fisheries personnel and resources management, reduced environmental controls on extractive industry operations that negatively impact watersheds and air quality, reduced .... you name it.
I'll be the first to advocate fiscal responsibility, and the first to question how far we should take "smaller government, lower taxes, and less regulation."

P.S. And we are going in the direction of a less educated population and electorate rather than a more educated population and wiser electorate. On the other hand, a whole bunch of folks are going to get a real education in the consequences of their voting decisions.
