Foreign Policy Experts Agree With Ron Paul’s Controversial Foreign Policy

I know it hurts to think about losing all those bureaucrats ......but isn't it time the US lives within its means You know.......become Fiscally responsible again

Right, if Pepsi thinks we can support a viable economy by feeding feather merchants then he needs to up his withholding rate.  He needs to look at the dismal failure of government heavy countries lke Greece, Italy, Spain, and Ireland.  Those people ate the geese that laid the golden eggs and now they are up shit creek without paddle.

Giving people government jobs is an alternative to them having and losing a job in the private sector because the business went off shore. I can see that, but government does not make value, it wastes value.  If we could not  borrow new funds then eventually the revenue stream would dry up because a government worker does not pay all his wages back in taxes.

Maybe the dysfunctional schools system accounts for liberals not knowing how to count or to connect the dots. After all the schools systems are parasites, as are the students at that age, so they need a field trip into reality about once a week to see what makes the world turn.

We'd live within our means if we simply reduced the military spedning. We spend more on our miltary than the rest of the world combined. Cutting that down to levels that the rest of the world spends would probaly be enough and we would not have to enact the toally draconioan and souless cuts that Paul proposes in his plan.

Because I am willing to bet that his old ass will not cut out his presidential salary, nor has he proposed that he would not take one dime of the tax payers money that would be paying for his retirement from congress.

Ron Paul is an old man who never really amounted to anything in congress who is taking his last stand for fame before he dies. That's all Ron Paul is.

I agree with you on military spending. It exceeds our ability and doesn't do us a lick of good really. Paul is not souless. He doesn't want people to starve, etc or be without medical care. He wants accountability from the government. There is a difference.

Obama has a plan alright,,, for the loser Americans.  To them there are two Americans, the hyphenated ones  and the dogshit whites, the real Americans that know who their daddies are.

All we need is four more years of this idiocy and we will look like Greece, a  basket case.

I do think that Medicare and Social Security should be radically reformed or replaced with something we can afford.  I am lucky in that I am old enough to not materially be impacted with downgrades over time, but how about my kids who are in their late forties?   People need to be  given alternatives that are phased in according to their ages, which would have the older ones still on the existing systems and the very young completely on new systems.  Private companies have such arrangements, and they are known as tiered benefit programs. It beats having to deny bennies to everyone rather than change the existing systems.

Will reducing the withholding rates bolster the chances of Medicare and Social Security staying viable?  The dumb assed politicians are shooting themselves in the feet because the surpluses from these two programs have been skimmed off and pissed away for decades now.

It is like someone once said, socialism works just fine until they run out of other peoples' money.
