Long awaited endorsement


Mine, of Ted Cruz
It is said Mr Cruz is not liked by his colleges, so what? He won't be able to get his legislation through. Again, so what? The federal government is bloated and 85% non responsive to the power of the purse.
Through consitiutional executive action, he could make your head spin. That 85% can be held (not spent,to any extent not required) until Legislative action is passed to do his will. It would be a shutdown without the pain (at least not on average Americans). He could cause plenty of pain to the self appointed eletes. He could unauthorized public employee unions, the major funding of the Democrat party ( the non Democratic party, ironically). He could control the Republican party through access and acquisition to their funding requests.
The key is he would not be required to do anything unconstitutional, and he alone would decide what that means, being a co- equal branch of government.
He could moth ball unconstitutional departments, allowing the best and brightest to participate in a productive life, outside of government. (True, the majority might not have the ability and they could retire in place). Employee headcount and hiring freezes could be put in place.
