Of course if you know Mr. Cruz, or are familiar with how government is supposed to work, or with reality in general, you’ll find some of his imaginaries problematic, like abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, sealing the border, or “repealing every word of Obamacare.”

How are these problematic in any way? Simplified tax code: more money saved, more economic benefit, more tax money coming in. And it's not like the IRS peeps will be out of a job, they'll just be living in El Paso instead of DC.

“Imagine a federal government that works to defend the sanctity of human life and to uphold the sacrament of marriage,” he said. But Mr. Cruz says he is a champion of personal liberty, too, and gay couples who love each other are demanding their liberty to marry, just not in a way he finds acceptable. No data supports Mr. Cruz’s claim that health-insurance premiums are “skyrocketing” under Obamacare. Immigrants, legal and otherwise, are building this country, and efforts to vacuum-seal the border by troops and fences alone will continue to fail, and the country will suffer from its entrenched hostility to its immigrant population, no matter what Mr. Cruz says.

The government has no role in marriage anyway, and Constitutionally at the federal level. Get rid of marriage tax benefits, and watch the gay marriage push dry up in a day.
Actually, there are plenty of people who report premiums rising, mainly those on the Obamacare roster. Private companies that already had plans that happened to cover everything OCare required haven't risen much, and I'm sure that's where their data comes from. Mine only went up 3% this year.
No one has any problem with legal immigrants (though we should look closely at where and how many we let in), it's the illegals that would be affected by sealing the border and moving the IRS down there.

That is utter B/S. Hubby runs a small Company. Less than 10 employees.
Insurance went up 450.00 per month per plan, Family plans.

“Mine only went up 3% this year.” my son’s went up over 28 percent. daughter’s went up over 15 percent.
