I don’t want the states to sell the land I want the federal government to do that IF this takes the form of a debt swap. That will guarantee the money goes to reduce the debt rather than sucked up by the Welfare State.

Me too. Glad we agree.

I am glad he is finally getting on board with what Cruz started legislation to do three years ago. That's why I sent you the link to one of the articles discussing Cruz pushing the plan in congress and getting fought against by both parties. Now maybe Trump can offer some help persuading people to follow Cruz's plan.

I wish trump would have jumped in with support for Cruz when he shut down the government to keep the national debt from being allowed to rise. Cruz could have used the help. He was fighting almost entirely by himself against both parties, and the donors to those parties.

Cruz never shut the government down. Only the Executive can do that.

As I said Cruz is easily ignored and his Senate colleagues did just that.

The essence of leadership is FORCING attention be paid.
