Ted Cruz on Fox News Sunday Part 2

here is what you said about the Senate club as it is called let's put it up on the screen we

Mr cruise doesn't just mean more gridlock you're going to have the conservatism one side but the liberals on the other side and nothing

gets done about any of the big problems here what it means is we need to step up and solve the problem suck

look my view on concrete compromise well my deal and compromises exactly this same as Ronald Reagan's president

Reagan said what do you do if they offer you half alive answer you take it and then you come back for more I

am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody Republicans Democrats libertarians I work with Martians if

the if is critical they're willing to cut spending and reduce the debt to the problem so many Republicans a fallen into is

that compromise going backwards they compromise in a way that makes the situation worse that grows government that

grows the dad and I think the American people are fed up with deals that just empower politicians and

a question Washington has been roiling with for the last years reduce the data cut

spending more revenue I don't think so at all at least not that I don't have to deal the reason I don't think so I

don't think the problem in Washington is too little taxes I think the problem in Washington is too much spending if

you look historically federal tax revenues historically into roughly eighteen percent of GDP federal spending has been roughly twenty percent of GDP in

the last three years it's gone from twenty percent of GDP twenty five percent of GDP yeah but revenues have gone down to fifteen percent of GDP well

and part of that has been the policies of this administration the Obama administration has waged a war on

jobs in a war on small businesses I listen to David Axelrod a few minutes ago talking about wanting

to get the economy going and why there weren't worth any more jobs without taking any any blame

for the fact that their policies have killed thousands and thousands of jobs whether it's obamacare or

don Frank or pushing cap and trade on the offshore drilling moratorium at the end of the day two thirds of all new jobs in the economy come from small business and we need to get the boot of the federal government off

the back of the neck small this you talk about that that he to the Republic is that happen

think conservative grass roots in the tea party are going to be overwhelmingly behind Mitt Romney and

I am so I have spoken to thousand he's not having a grassroots campaign well but the grassroots energized because

I think the absolute highest priority in the country in November is to defeat Barack Obama and

I've spoken with literally thousands and thousands of tea party activists I have yet to meet a single tea party leader that

we're going to preserve opportunity for our kids and breathless you like to see met only pick a harder add more
