"The Swamp" in Washington DC is a target-rich environment for hammers.  Two thirds of the budget consists of transfer payments, taking money from one group of people and giving it to another.  The "Progressives" have created massive Ponzi Schemes in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, whose costs are growing by 6% per year while GDP growth is under 2%.  We have projected deficits of around $1 Trillion a year, and as the debt grows, the cost of servicing the debt grows, and crowds out all other priorities.  If we can't get back to 4%+ growth consistently soon, our financial system will collapse within a few years.  The status quo is unacceptable.

Rand Paul gets it.  It's a shame he lost his momentum in the primaries due to negative reaction to his stand against NSA monitoring of our emails and phone calls.  Given what's come down since, he might do better next time, if Trump doesn't hold his ground on his campaign promises, including "Draining the Swamp."
