Thanks for this rebuttal to Rep. Gattis vapid opinion piece. What do you expect from a party that sees government as the problem. 
Rep. Gattis, government is not the problem...BAD government is the problem. If you have no solutions, why are you running for a seat in the Senate? What vision do you really have short of spending our CBR savings to pay off the poor, starving oil companies. Is that all you've got? 
Thanks for your service and good luck in your future endeavors but I hope the good people of Mat-Su send you on your way.
