Interestingly enough, he is one of the few people that may be running for President that actually have a solid track record or holding back the growth of government as an Executive elected official... and then win re-election doing it. The difference between him and say, a Newt Gingrich, is that Johnson actually had to do what he said. He has 8 years of being a libertarian minded Republican as a track record. As for cuts, I am sure pulling out of Afghanistan and Libya would be the top of the cuts list.
