Ryan has no credibility on limiting government spending whatsoever.

They have given Obama virtually everything he has wanted for 8 years.

They’re about to do it again.

End it all. Every last dollar in every last program.

Yes there are some people who are legitimate users. But once a program gets created it morphs into a destructive monster.

Kill it all.

Ryno is supporting the racists Judge in the Trump seminar smear in San Diego. I heard Ryno SAY HE WAS SUPPORTING THE RACISTS AND DIDN’T WANT TRUMP TO CALL THE RACIST OUT. RYNO is UNFIT for speaker and his funds will be cut off by the new RNC.

I’m at the point now where I think they only way to limit government is bankruptcy, either planned or unplanned.

First off, tell the Federal Reserve we are writing off $4.5 Trillion of Treasuries they hold. Then tell the Chinese, Japanese, Brits and the ridiculous Social Security “lockbox” - sorry, we will pay you $0.50 on the dollar.

As John Belushi said in Animal House “you f***ed up! You trusted us!”

Switch to gold backed dollar so the situation can not happen again.

A fiat, unbacked currency and unlimited debt and manipulated interest rates from the Federal Reserve are like heroin to politicians. It eventually turns every one of them into progressive social-engineers.

Did Ryan or McConnell say anything about the Mexican flag waving, American flag burning mob that assaulted Trump supporters at his rallies? I don’t think so.

It must be election time because the Republicans are talking about cutting government. Once the election is over, they’ll tell us how its impossible to implement these plans.

No, they want the citizens to be intimidated away from electing anyone who would enforce the laws and borders.
They have always been able to nominate an amnesty candidate so we had no choice.
Amnesty vs amnesty in every election since the last amnesty.

That’s right! Their choice of things to emphasize is the opposite of what it should be!

How about this type of welfare reform....

FREE FOOD for whoever needs it.....a ration of beans, rice, powdered milk, Spam, powdered eggs, flour and vitamins picked up a weeks worth at a time per person from local charities who apply for federal funding to purchase and distribute the food. - No more food stamps.

FREE HOUSING for whoever needs it...Government run, barracks style housing with NO cable, NO cell phone reception within 100 yards, NO WiFi within 100 yards, mandatory drug and alcohol testing for all residents and immediate 6 month expulsion of anyone testing positive or convicted of a crime. No one but the residents may be on the property at any time.

FREE TRANSPORTATION for whoever needs it....ugly, bright orange bicycles provided to anyone who needs transportation.

FREE EDUCATION for whoever needs it....by riding your ugly orange bicycle to the library which will continue to be free and where you can take currently available free online courses

FREE HEATHCARE for whoever needs it.....by riding your orange bicycle to a teaching hospital during school hours where college students will administer to you. (and probably screw up)

Once these basic needs have been provided, there is no need for any other social programs. End them all. If someone wants more than that meager existence, they can work to provide for it.

“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” - Benjamin Franklin
