Shrinking governmnet necesarily involves a non-inteventionist foreign policy. Our current foreign policy is so expensive, that we need the IRS. However, the huge unconstitutional tax system that we currently have is not even enough to pay for it, so we borrow the money — but even that is not enough to pay for it. So, we print money to finance the wars. This unconstitutional federal reserve system of printing money out of thin air causes massive inflation. There is a strong link between foreign policy and economic policy, and that is why I believe Ron Paul is the only real small governmnet conservative in this race.

Paul doesn’t mind big government when wild shrimp is involved.

I agree with what you said to me 100%. What I said in my post that cutting governemnt will never happen under the mentality in DC now. Except for a select few (Paul being one), most politicians in DC are to drunk on power and spenidng money like crazy.

I agree, Ron Paul has some grea ideas. I agree with him on about 80% of the issues. It's a shame that a so called 'conservative' forum has such hostility towards one of the few real conservatives on the ballot.
