I know many of you profess how Paul is going to cut one trillion out of the budget his first year in office(wink,wink).
Has he specifically identified how he is going to do that or has he just said he was going to do it?
Let's see how you gents handle this reality check.

I would imagine this is ronny's first attempt at balancing anything other than his checkbook, so don't expect too much.

Since all Bristoe wants to do is put up a link, i'll post the answer, if that's what you want to call it.
SPENDING:
Cuts $1 trillion in spending during the first year of Ron Paul�s presidency, eliminating five cabinet departments (Energy, HUD, Commerce, Interior, and Education), abolishing the Transportation Security Administration and returning responsibility for security to private property owners, abolishing corporate subsidies, stopping foreign aid, ending foreign wars, and returning most other spending to 2006 levels.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

so simple, so easy....why didn't anyone think of it before. I tell you, that Ron Paul is a freaking genius.
oh...wait....Congress won't do any of that stuff, and Paul couldn't do it. well, never mind.

And on the other hand,...most of them didn't even think of it. D.C. is a congregation of self serving knotheads,..as is evidenced by the current condition of the American economy and monetary system.

Is that like an immediate retreat thing, or does it mean future wars, or wars aren't necessary?

Unless somebody stitches up the country's arteries, America doesn't do *anything* again ever,...because it will cease to exist. It's being bled out by the government.

Because there is no constituency outside the Paulist fever swamps for a demolition of the federal government and dismantling the military. I'm pretty sure you could gas Energy and Education and most of what Agriculture does and hardly anybody would miss it, except the bureaucrats who would be put out to pasture, but I'm equally sure you will never pass a meat ax bill to abolish cabinet departments. I know the impatient children in Paulland want their puppies, ponies and ice cream right now, but you're going to have to put up with a long slow process of shrinking .gov. As an aspirational statement, Paul's stuff sounds great....like the Mission Statement poster on the wall at the dirty fast food joint. As a program that can be used to govern and actually accomplish something, it's silly.

Will you write ronny, and tell him the Drug Enforcement Agency must be disbanded? It will save money and relieve paranoia.

So what is Romney promising to cut? Any dollar amount? From where? When is he promising to repeal Obamacare? ================= The diversion techniques you guys often play is getting old. Stick to the question...it was about Paul and his first years trillion dollare cuts. WTF does Romney have to do with that? Romney is no different than Obama,right? Is Paul any different than any of them? He can't accomplish what he promised you boys he was going to do for you his first year. I need some more of that honest,unquestioned integrity cheerleading again,I guess. Do you guys have to pay another $99.99 to get the skinny? What's fodder for Romney and Gingrich has to be fodder for Paul too,right fellas?
