You make a cogent argument..but I don’t think that you can equate governing Texas with running the US. We need to not only stop the growth of the federal govt, but start taking it apart....and you need a full time legislature to do that..
He didn’t say when he would try to do this but one of his points in the townhall was that Congressman/women need to go back and live with the laws they enact.
Live with the laws they enact and live with the constituents they serve.
I’m sure he was talking about after he/they get the government back to the size it should be.
I guess the fact that Congress is a Co-Equal branch of Government completely outside the authority of the President sailed right over the head of Perry and his supporters.
Perry is writing political checks here he cannot cash.
