Gummit has gotten too full of itself, IMHO.
I hate to sound like a Paulbot. I wish that some other broad spectrum conservative candidate was also as radical about “smallifying” the Fedzilla as Paul has been. He or she would be easier to swallow as a candidate. It is to wince to hear someone say he doesn’t care about, say, “gay marriage.” But I haven’t seen any such candidate. And if I was forced to choose between exclusive emphases on an issue, I’d choose the one that put government reduction first. Because it is the pride of a swollen extent that made the other, more recent vices possible. IMHO.
I agree. I want to hear other GOP candidates talking about this. The job of president is to manage the administration and federal agencies. He is the only one that can tell agencies what to eliminate or downsize. You will notice that domestic surveillance and all of those armed domestic forces survived sequestration and the shutdown, so they must have been deemed essential. It is time to change that. Right now, I only know of 1 candidate that would do that.
