>> There are too many self-indulgent interests who place themselves and their interest ahead of the interest of the entire country and have decided that they’re going to seek financial gain through rent-seeking.
Yep.
For just one small example, really “reducing the size and influence of government” translates to “firing lots of government employees” as surely as night follows day.
You can’t reduce the overreach of the EPA for instance, unless you eliminate a number of EPA initiatives and directives ALONG WITH the employees that administer them.
Who actually believes this will happen?
