I, humbly, 100 percent totally disagree with you on that one. I mean, if you look at the baseline over the next ten years, we're talking about $86 trillion of spending, right?
I would say, well, I'm for Trump in this area, but I'm against in these different areas. But people didn't want nuance. They want, are you for or against him?
It shows the danger of Donald Trump in my mind, because what it says is somebody as highly elected as Kevin McCarthy will twist himself in knots to stay relevant with the Trump base.
I will take that as a yes, that Milton Friedman was right, that ultimately an important measure toward making government more efficient is, in fact, making it smaller.
