Ron Paul will unveil his economic plan Monday afternoon, calling for a lower corporate tax rate, cutting spending by $1 trillion during his first year in office and eliminating five cabinet-level agencies, including the Education Department, according to excerpts released to Washington Wire.......

No problem.
Why does Ron Paul wear fake eyebrows?
I searched before I posted it.
Unfortunately, sometimes it seems the quickest way to find an article is to post and be told it’s a duplicate.
Why do you wear panties on your head?
What the hell kind of question is that supposed to be on an article about an economic plan?
Perhaps because it's the Wall Street Journal?
Cut the government. Cut all public service workers, but particularly reduce the police force nationally, state-wide, and locally.
A desperation move from a nutcase candidate.
Lots of the time Ron Paul sounds nuts but then sometimes he comes across as eminently sane. This is a moment of sanity and brilliance.
I don’t necessarily like cutting politician wages to the bone because it makes it so people who aren’t of independent means can’t afford to take the job. Of course, pay should be watched, and the President’s salary is probably too high, but he is supposed to pay for his and his families meals, clothing, school, medical insurance etc. out of that. They are supposed to have to pay for meals unless it’s business.
“Boner and the rinos just crap in his bloomers.”
Yep, the big government Republican establishment boys are not going to like this.
A huge start towards returning to the Republic would be cutting Cabinet departments back to the original four. Then don’t keep the other agencies around as less-than-Cabiner-level. Eliminate them. Fire everybody in them.
Paul *IS* a Libertarian, though he runs on the republican ticket, if I'm not mistaken. His last run for President was on the Libertarian ticket, and his supporters are all Libertarians. His son, the Senator from Tennessee, Mr. Rand Paul, is a Libertarian. I love Libertarians, and I think we could do far worse than having one for President, but Dr. Paul is not the one. Rand maybe.
Sound like a line from the Perry camp.
He's a nutcase for calling for 1 trillion in government spending? ..A sign desperation?...Never mind he's absolutely right.....I mean, who cares if tens of millions now unemployed, tens of millions lost their homes businesses, careers, investments, while being forced to bail out big gov, fatcorps and the banks, with the corrupt in government still giving tens of billions for foreign countries, as they dump tens of millions of low wage illegals in our laps.
Who cares about corrupt government shoving us into a 14 trillion dollar black hole. All the while government winks and nods at exporting tens of hundreds of thousands of American jobs to low wage never never chicom land...Lets just ignore all this and choose a business as usual government politician...Lets not upset the apple cart.
Why does a man so obsessed with truth succumb to false eyebrows? Why did his campaign proffer a lame excuse about allergies?
I'm not the only one who was distracted by Ron Paul's drooping fake eyebrow during the last debate. The brown hairy creeper obscured his talking points.
What??
To sit at a desk, talk on the phone and look at paper work? How is it possible people can work 40 hours a week at a 9 or 12 dollar an hour jobs, but can't be politicians because the can't afford it? How are they doing it now?
The more well off can still run for office, but should be paid close to minimum wage for the privilege of serving the people. Ya got a problem with that?
This is nice but I do not want to convert to Islam. Paul ignores the threat of Islam.
That’s what is so scary. He says Iran is not threat and if we’re only nice to Muslims, they will be nice to us.
I like it except for a couple of items:
1) Foreign aid; although I agree it needs to be looked at honestly I do believe it is also a sort of ‘help’ to certain countries that keeps them somewhat dependent on the US thus keeping the ‘enemy’ whomever that may be out.
2) Foreign wars; there are enemies out there and they need to feel the heat of American firepower from time to time. Sitting in a corner with our eye, ears, and mouths shut only opens us up to another 9/11 style attack.
Ok and 3) The President is the leader of our Nation and of the free world and therefore should receive just a tad more then the common man. Besides, his salary is superficial anyway since everything he does and everywhere he goes is on the government’s dime. Unless he’s campaigning then it’s on the campaign donor’s dime.
I love the idea of eliminating these agencies but I still can’t past Paul’s comments about Iran and Islam. He is totally naive.
lol...
Another comment from the Perry camp?
We could bounce Iran off the lunar surface and back if we wanted...Get real.
No, we’ll wait until they bounce us off first. I agree with everything else about Paul.
