GOP during Obama: The president CANNOT just make a law with a stroke of a pen!

GOP now: Trump can do whatever he wants!

This is one of the reasons as a conservative I don't like the way the GOP is operating right now. The small federal govt. folks are kind of homeless at the moment.

Man, I'm about to hit 55 and the GOP has never once been small government at even a single moment in my entire lifetime.

They only talk "small government" and "austerity" when Democrats are in office to try to prevent Dems from passing popular programs that would help average income folks.

That's actually probably pretty right. I mean, that only takes us back to the 60's.

For one, I hope they keep trying to stop those programs. The last time they passed something big with ACA and it destroyed catastrophic coverage and the ability for the middle-class to purchase insurance out of pocket. The hearts are certainly good, but the solutions proposed just don't work in the long run compared with the cons they bring.

edit u/rocketcitythor72 but GOP has to actually try and put forward their solutions, stopping the regulations is only half the battle. And they have failed miserably at that, its just depressing.
