While he’s one of the biggest “Pork” recipients,

we’re supposed to believe that Paul would “take an ax” to the defense budget. And don’t forget, that “ax” would probably cut border security, as well.

However, the President has more power in directing Executive Branch regulations, hiring and spending. Congress wouldn’t be needed to achieve a lot of the bureaucratic cuts, as Governor Perry has pointed out.

This was the original article your post was taken from, with Ron Paul's response

Check out Ron Paul's actual plan. He takes out the militarism and leaves Defense. Nothing says that Border Security is going to take a hit as you suggest -- which isn't in "Defense" anyway. It's in Homeland Security -- should be plenty of money left over when he gets rid of TSA.

Indeed, is this $1 trillion cut before Paul gets his last ear mark in?
