22.50% - Trusted government once — watched them lie about Vietnam, Watergate, WMDs in Iraq, COVID lab leak. Never again. Skepticism of government isn't paranoia. It's patriotism.

2.10% - $35 trillion in debt, 180,000 pages of regulation, agencies not reviewed in decades — Washington is too big, and it's time to cut it down.
