Ted Cruz: Take on EPA and agencies that strangle small businesses

Some of you may be thinking, "that makes common sense to me. Live within your means. Don't bankrupt our grandkids. Follow the Constitution. But can it be done?"

I think where we are today is very much like the late 1970s. Same failed economic policies. Same misery, stagnation and malaise. The same feckless and naive foreign policies. In fact, the exact same countries: Russia and Iran, openly mocking the President of the United States. Why is it that analogy gives me so much hope and optimism? Because we know how that story ended: millions of men and women rose up and became the Reagan Revolution.
