one word... BOZO
There is a good half to Ron Paul. If only it was just that good economic half that were running for President I might even be a paulbot sympathizer. As is, his nutty foreign and defense policy positions ruin him and prevent most actual conservatives from taking him seriously.
I like what I see here, other than I’m sure that his trillion dollars in savings involves wiping-out the DOD
It is a good idea to cut spending by $1 trillion, eliminate five cabinet departments (especially Education), etc. However, that simply suggests that paleoPaulie wants to be sure that, when he surrenders our nation to the jihadist Islamofascisti to be part of their world caliphate, it will be in good enough economic shape to please them. I am not impressed nor am I deluded enough to vote for the gutless little pipsqueak!
This is a symbolic gesture that could do more harm than good, if it were to be official policy. The only people who would then run for POTUS would have to be those that don't need the money anyway. It would prevent otherwise good people from running for office (for example, a Joe the Plummer type).
Sorry Rep. Paul. I believe that people should be compensated for the value they bring to the job or in line with the difficulty of the job. $400K for POTUS is appropriate.
The symbolic gesture only promotes more class warfare.
Come with us! Planet LRon is out of this world!
"..presidential salary to $39,336.."
This just PROVES he is a nut-case!

We're here for you.
You get what you pay f0r, but I think $39,000 a year is waaaayyy to much for this guy,
Exactly right prescription for our domestic disease.
Roach Paul is the Mad Hatter!
NASA, FCC, FAA, DEA, EPA, BATFE, DoE, SSI, DHS, TSA.... Just to name a few.

If they aren't covered by Art 1 Sec 8, they need to go. Period. No excuses. Not even "good" excuses.
It a good plan to get the country back on track again. I think it should go further but a good start. Would like to compare it to the other Republicans running when they give their plans.
From the Politico article on this. Hell say that his plan for $1 trillion in cuts will create a balanced federal budget by the third year of his presidency.

Paul and Cain are now #1 and #2 on my list.
Most of the posters on this thread are the idiots, not Ron Paul! Ron Paul is the only hope for our nation! So you all want another establishment new world order globalist. You want to continue believing in the al queada boogie man, that the globalists are using to enslave us all, while emptying our pockets! Wake up!
