When reducing money government spends you have to be careful not to destabilize the
economy. It is not status quo, it a reasonable approach, and slashing and burning is as
bad as over spending. I look at people like the Donald and Sara Palin as examples of
why America is in the trouble its in. Ron Paul is no different he is full of his own brand of
instant solutions, and championing the same tired free enterprise system that has the
country in the mess its in. Unbridled capitalism and unbridled socialism are equal parts of
each other in that neither of them work.
Obama is twice the President Ron Paul could ever be. If the American people were to
finally succumb to the influence of someone like Paul, there problems right now will be
minor compared to what would come about. To start with if the United States abandoned
the military influence or the military complex it would collapse into the worlds worst
recession. The only real manufacturing left that is worth while, is the military contracts.
American, Israeli and Canadian bullet factories are working twenty four hours a day to keep
up.
Ridiculous. The military-industrial complex does create jobs, but no overall wealth. Sure those in the industry are making money, but only at the expense of the taxpayer. Essentially we're talking about moving money around, not actually producing anything of economic value to the community.
Now I don't agree with Ron Paul on all fronts. And as I'd mentioned above, Ron Paul as president counterbalanced by any Democratic or Republican Congress would actually prove to be a good balance, with Paul trying to cut back on spending and especially US military intervention abroad except when absolutely necessary as an absolute last resort. Heck, he makes Obama look hawkish in comparison. The US has a massive debt, and the military is part of the reason. Should Ron Paul be able to curb back military spending (and we all know that most Republicans and Democrats are'nt interested in such cutbacks), while Congress holds back on the excessive tax reductions Ron Paul wants, then finally the US might be able to start balancing its books.
Castro is amazing... No man has had more attempts on his life, not even Hitler... yet he's still breathing.. The C.I.A failed miserably!
Well, Ron Paul, as a strict Constitutionalist, would not be interested in snuffing Castro anyway.
Another thing about Ron Paul is that he knows how to build coalitions. For instance, he's actually stood shoulder to shoulder with some Democrats who are sick and tired of the militarism in the Democratic Party too. So clearly he's less partisan than most Republicans if he is in fact capable of forming coalitions on case-by-case basis.
