The American backlash against the strike shows that the base of both parties believe that Obama is on the wrong side. He is the enemy with in, and is being ignored.
Cruz and Christy are cuddling up to Obama. At this point Rand is my man.
So what you’re saying is that Obama is right to negotiate with Putin. You’re saying that Obama thinks Putin is right.
I like them both and they represent critical elements in conservatism and the American electorate. I’d like to see them form an administration together.
The one thing that attracts me to Rand is his apparent willingness to eliminate departments. That’s something Reagan didn’t even touch, despite the two DOEs being brand new under Carter.
A POTUS who would kill those two departments can simply take their funding and give it to the states as per capita grants to spend on their own education and energy programs. Kill the departments at the federal level, collect the taxes that funded their budgets and pass it along to the states. The states are desperate for the money, make it no strings attached - education and energy, their choice how to spend it.
We need a return to federalism. Ideally, you’d kill the funding some time in the future.
