As I've noted, there have been GOPers with some of these ideas, but seldom have a candidate had ALL of them, or at least many of them; this, to me, would imply that this isn't quite the return of paleocons, but something else...

Such as this.  I mean, to be sure, some of this is, I suspect, an attempt by Trump to demonstrate that now, at least, he is a GOPer, and, well, this is something that is, has been, and will be, GOPism 101.  Let's not also forget that he campaigned (and won) on repealing the ACA, so...here you go.  I admit, Price is cool, because he offers a real chance to actually fix/breakdown/make manageable an uncontrollable entitlement.  I suspect he won't get as much done as he likes, but...could be enough.

This also serves as a real finger in the eye of the outgoing administration, which serves Trump personally and to melding his ties with the GOP base.

I agree with this as well, for a number of reasons, not including the fact that it was a campaign promise...one, if interest rates are going to remain low, shooting out bonds with minimal returns in the future isn't unwise.  And. we DO need to rebuild some roads and highways, and if we can do so while putting some of the non-working Trump voters in the labor pool...again, not necessarily unwise.
