But today, too many politicians and lobbyists are spending America into ruin.
Ron Paul is RIGHT on the money.
Except that his math is wrong, and that he ignores historical reality: spending usually increases drastically in wartime.
Compared to spending increases in past overseas deployments (where public debt typically increased from 50-100%), spending increases have been minimal.
Ron Paul's equation is simple: If we stab our troops in the back by cutting off their funding, then the taxpayer will save a bunch.
Those savings will then presumably come in handy for paying the jizya.
