A lot of this is because although it's easy to say, "hey lets cut costs and taxes by x%" but when you get down to it this means cutting things that are performing some sort of service to the citizens.
Libertarians like to talk the talk about how they will cut everything 'non-essential' but I don't think many people really want to live in a country that doesn't have government-enforced standards for safety, environmental things, etc.
