Even the people who do not work for government will see their property values plunge as a result of reining in government.” <<
BULLSHIT!
Right now the government IS the economy. Changing that will have a lot of effect. There will be unintended consequences, both good and bad. When you close down a major employer, what happens? When a company lays employees off, what happens in the SHORT TERM?
Trump is talking about a big short.
But directed at the people who gave us the housing crisis, the consequent Wall Street bailout, TARP and deficit spending.
DC also seems to have a continuing problem doing what the average American couple does every day with their checking account: matching spending with income.
Why should we keep subsidizing mediocrity? Less than mediocrity. Abysmal failure. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Anyone who says we didn’t expect Trump to do these things isn’t being honest with him/herself. Draining the swamp is exactly why he was elected: this is why bureaucrats, great and small, are soiling themselves. Let the chips fall where they may.
