U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv
The U.S. Embassy in Israel is currently in Tel Aviv. Cruz wants to move it to Jerusalem, Israel's "once and eternal" capital.
Commerce Department
In a piece for the National Review, Cruz said shuttering the department would "close the congressional cookie jar" and promote free trade.
Education Department
Another standard line from Cruz: "U.S. Department of Education, which should be abolished." Cruz is a states' rights guy -- he wrote his college thesis on the 10th Amendment -- and wants to give control of schools to states or localities....
Energy Department
Cruz has said the country needs an "energy renaissance." .... The Energy Department is one of five agencies Cruz wants to close. Cruz said that shuttering them, along with four other changes including freezing the hiring of civilian government employees, would save the country $500 billion.
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Cruz would scrap many programs and reform those that would remain, including Section 8 housing,...
Internal Revenue Service
In his usual speech, Cruz states that he wants to "abolish the IRS." The reason? The agency, in his estimation, is a symbol of bloated Washington bureaucracy....
Iran nuclear deal
Cruz has called the threat of a nuclear Iran the greatest national security danger to the United States. He has pledged that he would "rip to shreds" the deal on his first day in office....
Islamic State
Cruz has said he wants to "utterly destroy" the terrorist organization,...
Obamacare
...Cruz tells audiences that he wants to "repeal every word" of the law and that "we'll pass common-sense health-care reform that makes health insurance personal and portable and affordable and keeps government from getting in between us and our doctors."
President Obama's executive orders
"The first thing I intend to do is rescind every single illegal and unconstitutional executive action taken by this president,"...

You can smell the fear.
Amen to all of them.
Go Cruz!
Works for me.
All necessary moves IMHO
If only Ted would promise to build a big beautiful wall, with a big beautiful gate and promise to deport the illegals and then let them back in quickly so they can be legal..... THEN he could unite all freepers.
no no no! Ted is copying DT as always.
Sounds like a conservative to me. The Horror! The Horror!
Sounds good to me.
The Department of Energy has some functions with respect to the care of nuclear stockpiles which would have to be preserved in a new agency, and the IRS would have to be replaced with an agency to administer a new simplified tax code, but I’m sure that Senator Cruz realizes that.
Sounds good to me
Nothing on the list about “loans” fron NY Values bankers like Goldman Sachs and Citibank. Strange.
Sounds like a modest start.
You want to abolish loans?
Do you think Trump wants that?
It all sounds good to me Washington Post. Nice promotional ad for the Cruz campaign.
I’m surprised the Post would publish such a positive article on Cruz.
Add the EPA and I am all in!
Trump has promised to expedite the illegal back in legally to immediately create millions of New Democrat Voters.
Cruz promises to build a wall, deport illegals, and they will NOT be let back in.
That list is a good start
Sounds good to me.
