i wonder if cutting the federal government, in and of itself, is necessarily an improvement.
When like RP handles it I would imagine not. When you cut due to overlap or repetition, or consolidation then maybe so.
Clinton closed bases..that just cut overlapping costs.
If you really want to cut costs I have plenty to cut..but it never happens because of PAC money/lobbyists.
First stop giving freebies to profitable businesses and farmers..next stop giving aid to countries that dont need it, next consolidate government offices to cut fixed costs.
Plenty of ways to start cutting without playing the shuffle game like RP wants, or turning isolationist like he also wants.

Easpecially when you consider the wars, nation building & MIC/defense contractors buildup. Not to mention the needless loss of life & the ones maimed physically and/or psychologically & what that does to their families & loved ones. Has a far greater & further reaching impact than most realize to the spirit of the country.
Reagan - bad
Bush 1 - worse
Bush 2/Cheney - worst ever
Exactly. Yet you STILL have HALF the country clamouring to elect the exact same thing by supporting any of these GOP candidates.
It's one thing if you criticize Obama, ok I get that. He's been far from perfect and hasn't exactly delivered on his 'hope and change' mandate. But if you criticize Obama, and then turn around and support one of the GOP guys, or think things will get better if the GOP are elected, then you are a stooge. Plain and simple. You're one of the people being played by the system of division and endless partisanship.
Considering the Dems and Repubs have become so corrupt they basically represent the same interests, it's really baseless partisanship.

That's the same ole right wing rhetoric that I've heard for 32 years. Ron Paul included... Cut spending, smaller government. Yet, every time they win, nothing happens, if fact it gets worse.
That's exactly what I'm so sick of. I'm sick of all the people still being spoon fed this rhetoric, and loving it. Buying the same lies the GOP have been selling for 30 years about open markets, and free trade, and government intrusion, and trickle-down economics, and tax breaks etc. etc. It goes on and on, and both parties endorse much of it to an extent.
People have been lied to so much they believe it, and now BOTH parties pander to this misguided and simplistic position.
The dumbing down of America has it's consequences. Has anybody seen the movie Idiocracy?

North Korea is isolationist
Switzerland is non interventionist...they still trade with other countries and allow vacationers
stole the below from a friend
Calling RonPaul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit
because he doesn't come on your property and break your windows...

If your litmus test for honesty is what has happened in the past with different people, then I suppose that you will not be voting in this election?
Do you actually think that the Dems are any better when it comes to rhetoric? or Lying to the voter?
Come the fuck on. Dumbing down of America indeed.
Ron Paul has voted consistently with the Constitution for his entire tenure in congress. Not many people can claim that. He has come out with some very controversial statements when it would have been good for his career to not speak out. IE the wars, and the foreign spending.
What specifically don't you like about him?
The fact that he believes that we don't need to police the world?
The fact that the banking system is completely corrupt from the Top Down?
I am not sure I even understand the hate towards him. To say that he is saying the "same things" is pretty ludicrous and just shows how lazy you guys can be.

Well, we know Disco is attached to the state. Are you afraid they are going to take away your SS Wallstreet? That is a valid concern. It would make a lot more sense than not liking someone based on the "politicians lie" footing.

70% of the federal government's budget goes to individual assistance programs....certainly that can't be right ??

Worked in Egypt, Libya, Tunis, etc. Why not America, all they have to do is start shooting and we win.
This Government is a stinking rotted corpse of it's former self. I see nobody that could change the situation more than Ron Paul, Just acknowledgement the Constitution would be a great start. Ending wars and aid to countries that are unnecessary. Focusing on domestic prosperity instead of outsourcing our prosperity elsewhere. Strengthening our sovereignty instead of giving it to the UN and World Bank.
These are all steps in the right direction. I do not know what the man plans on having for lunch next Sunday, but I know that his ideas are nothing short of revolutionary when you take into account the status quo that we have seen for 50-75 years.
Forget this election, who in HISTORY has ever campaigned on tearing down the machine, and restoring constitutional liberty.

I assume you're mad because of what I said about open markets etc.
You may not like the concept of what I promote, but I don't like the results that 30 years of this type of right wing policy has provided. It's a concerted effort to ensure a 'trickle up' system. It's a pro 1% based approach. The proof is in the pudding. It's not even debatable, neoliberal economic policy greatly benefits the rich. That's it. In fact, it almost crashed the economy and entire global financial system. There is ample evidence to support this. Do you not agree?
Yet as I said, people ignore the evidence, and half the country is lining up to vote GOP....based on exactly the same rhetoric promoting deregulation and free markets etc.

I just hate his answers, because he doesn't have any

I can't beat my head against the wall anymore. If you think that the policies of the past 30 years have even closely resembled a free market then I actually feel sorry for you because you have bought a bill of goods.
Do you think the bailouts were "right wing free market solutions"?
That was the largest handout to the 1% that ever took place.
