Ron Paul is the only candidate who never voted to raise taxes nor voted to increase the debt limit - never.

Ron Paul’s budget plan would cut $1 Trillion from the Fed budget in year One.

$1 Trillion !

Don’t get me wrong when I say this, the gov needs to be reigned in, but has anyone considered the impact massive cuts like that will have?

Cutting a trillion has to be done over at least 5 to 10 as to make it as painless as possible.(in addition to making sure it never happens)

That is correct.....but:

IMO, Ron Paul knew he was a lone wolf in such votes. He knew that his vote would be symbolism only. He also knew that he was running AGAIN for President.

While this makes his voting record seem legendary, I believe that he is tilting at windmills.

However, I also wish this country to stop spending money like a drunk who found a dropped bag of $100 bills.

We cannot keep sending moeny to enemies. We are funding the weapons which are used against us in the big picture, IMO.

Trouble with that & Ron Paul is that Ron Paul doesn’t see that we even HAVE enemies!!! He thinks that IF we all ‘play nice in the sandbox’, there will never be any problems on the playground. NOT!!!!

I absolutely like Newt’s & Perry’s idea of every country has to go back to ZERO in foreign aid & they have to tell us why we should be helping them.

North Korea spends most of it’s country wealth on it’s military —nuclear weapons—armaments of all kinds. It’s people are starving everywhere. There is no power sturcture to even try to build up industry for jobs or products in N Korea.

When this country attempts to get consessions in return for FOOD aid, their multi-generational crazies who are in charge call it ‘politicizing’. N Korea doesn’t have any kind of moral right to products of the USA. They ARE an enemy & I don’t think Ron Paul will ever admit that....along with the long list of others, including Iran-Syria-Pakistan-etc.

Wouldn't the removal of that much 'stimulus' in one year send us into an immediate depression?
