Ron Paul wouldn’t, couldn’t, cut $1 trillion in spending.
Electing one person, even to POTUS, isn’t going to change much of anything. The Congress would just pass the spending with 2/3 in favor.
Until we are broke, nothing will change. Only when the dollar is worthless, and government largess is also worthless, might people elect a majority of representatives that only want to contain government.
I agree completely.
What the liberaltarians are also overlooking is that if a Ron Paul type did win (bucking the establishment), the establishment would combine forces to destroy that presidency. Even if Paul won, he wouldn’t be able to get anything done.
And what you mention is why I’ve stated that if we cannot elect a hardcore conservative who understands monetary science and what is happening and who has not only the knowledge but the political skill to implement what is necessary to fix our economy truly, then we might as well let Obammie the Commie win. If he loses, the economy is going to implode in the next 4 years, and the left will blame it all on Republicans, the Tea Party, conservatives, capitalism, whole milk. Anything and everything they detest and are trying to destroy.
If Obammie and his Commies win, then WHEN not IF the economy implodes in the next four years, they will have no way of blaming anyone but their own failed economic policies of the past 10 years (DNC controlling the houses from 2006 without conservatives having the majority needed to bring change combined with 8 years of the Commie in Chief).
Yes, I know, it would spell ruin. But every way I analyze the economic situation, I don’t see how we avoid financial Armageddon within 5 years.
