By "he wouldn't support quite a lot of what the feds do today." I mean there is quite a lot that the feds do that he wouldn't support. Not necessarily that there wouldn't be many activities performed by the feds that he would support.

As for "it's hard to find ANYBODY that wouldn't support a lot of what the feds do today" - Jefferson isn't from today. He's from a time when our country had much smaller and less active central/federal government, and he advocated for a smaller and less active federal government than many of his contemporaries.
