If you read between the lines of this essay, Cruz is the obvious choice for anyone interested in shrinking the size of government.

Jeb Bush has also brought up the need for entitlement reform and promised to be a budget cutter. Recently he pledged to cut the federal workforce by 10 percent within five years, by imposing a freeze on new hiring and replacing only one of every three federal workers who retire.

That isn't cutting government, that's cutting headcount. If you shrink your workforce yet keep the same programs and regulations and agencies in place then all you've done is overload the people you have left. Shrinking government means doing away with more than just people.

Cruz would be a great choice, but only if he catches on. There is time.

We will see.

I guess men of character, integrity, honesty, morality, etc. are boring to most Americans now in the age of the Kardashians and Obama. Do we even know what we need anymore in a leader? Cruz should be at the top of the list. Americans are sadly lacking in discernment. Wave a dollar bill in front of their eyes and you have their hearts.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that Trump’s plan to “make America great again” requires Big Government.
Everything that Trump does is BIG. He will not speak about shrinkage,
Still, he is performing a needed service at this point in time.
I think of him as a strategy rather than a candidate.

Tanner forgets to mention that every project Trump takes on comes in on time and at or below estimates. I think Trump would actually get the waste and fraud out of the picture.

I also get the feeling he might try to get rid of some of the more egregious depts. like Education and EPA.

Cruz is fighting to keep the Export-Import Bank unfunded. It’s not much dollar wise but it’s a start. Seems like that should deserve a mention here.

Money spent on the border wall or fence is worth it.

Trump is pro-abortion, pro-homo, pro-BigGov, pro-gun control and pro-corruption ( he has bought influence in DC for decades).

He has enthusiastically supported Obama and Hillary.

He has targeted a few conservative issues and said things that outrage the MSM but are music to the ears of some Americans.

He will eventually drive away the conservative base when, like Marla Maples, we find out that he's an untrustworthy fraud.
