Do you believe our government is run efficiently and spends money wisely? Are you ok with handing them more money to spend?
For those against it. What percentage of the money do you believe gets wasted?

All of it. Just look at welfare and all of the witch trials we’ve had these past 3 years. How can anybody support giving these people more money? Just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I don’t want to give any of them my money and they have no right to my money

That was my first reaction as well. Small government politicians don't exist other than Ron/Rand Paul and (possibly) Ted Cruz.
That being said, Trump is a hell of a lot closer than the full on socialism of all the democrat pols.

The current stack of politicians that infest the Capitol Building only use taxpayer money wisely in the sense that they are very smart and efficient at lining their pockets with taxpayer money (see the fleecing we got in the Ukraine funding for the benefit of both D and R pols & their family members).
frick those m'fers. All the grifters should hang.

I’m assuming you are talking about all the free this and free that crowd.

Yeah, for instance free health care for all. That means you are giving the government permission to run the countries entire health care system. I am interested to see if anyone who is for free health care truly believes our government is capable of effectively running the health care system for the entire country.

The platform is simple. When elected, I will swear in, walk to the White House, and sign one executive order. This executive order will lay out the process for dissolving the federal government in a peaceful, orderly manner. With it, I will resign as President to become “Custodian of the Federal Government.” The only thing I will do as President before signing the order is pardon everyone convicted under federal law for victimless crimes. The executive order will appoint someone to head each federal department as “Custodians” who will carry out the plan outlined in the order.

Since the federal government cannot be dissolved by XO, everything else is moot.
That said, there is a good chance this candidate would get my vote if they appeared on my ballot without a D or R affiliation.

Cruz/Paul is my dream ticket. It won't happen. But I'm allowed to dream, ain't I?

Both candidates are on the Libertarian primary ballot.

Not being a partisan, I don't vote in primaries (except those of the jungle variety).

Included was a 21% reduction in foreign aid.
