25% is a good start. We need to decrease the size of Government anyway.

One more thought: of the 75% who stay 90% will be part of the 25% you wanted to leave.

Lay moving vans I saw was from 1600. Oh, and the Comey residence.

We need more to quit. Go study how Calvin Coolidge avoided an economic depression and the 20's Roared. He cut government by half...

Then It all fell apart, when nobody was supervise the thieves and people starved in the richest nation of the world, deregulation worked so well in 1929 why not try it again.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - The Crash of '29 was not the result of Coolidge's actions. Also, he didn't "deregulate" anything. Now, go back and study history. Don't take my word for it.

If we followed his template today, the welfare state would bring us total anarchy. But, it would be just as effective today. Few even know there was a brief depression in the early 20s.

I feel the same way about these mopes as I do those who say "I'll move to (insert whatever country here) if Trump is elected". No you won't. You're grandstanding. 25% is a good start. I'd like to see the government downsized by 50-60% and I don't feel sorry for anyone losing their job, as I'm sure none of them lost any sleep when their policies and laws cost others their jobs. Cut the EPA, DOE, DHS, DOI. They're all bloated. Find redundant departments and eliminate them.

MSgt Wayne Morris - Yeah. It was sarcasm. Every time people talk about downsizing government the progressives start whining "who will fix the roads?" It's almost as popular as "what about the children?"
