Rush: Ron Paul is Right
The Right Perspective ^ | 2011-10-17

Posted on 10/17/2011 6:39:36 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh stunned his audience on Monday when he said that US presidential candidate Ron Paul has the right perspective in wanting to cut US$1 trillion in government spending – although the conservative talker claims he came up with the idea first.

“You’re not going to believe my answer,” Rush told a caller who asked how the Republicans can govern once they defeat President Obama next year. “Ron Paul has a good idea.”

Well, they’re both wrong. We should start by cutting at least TWO trillion from federal government spending.

Even Ron Paul can be right twice a day.

I'll see your paltry TWO trillion, and raise you another TRILLION!

Let's get real and de-fund the whole damn' corrupt government, send them all packing for jail, and start over!

Hey, it's either that or take up arms. Which do you want?

I think you meant to say THREE TRILLION.

Simple subtraction.

Federal Spending = $3.7 Trillion

Defense Budget = $0.7 Trillion

If anyone can honestly tell me -- aside from National Defense -- what useful purpose the Federal Government serves, ... I'll eat my hat.

Ron Paul is right a lot more than he is wrong.

They could cut ONE TRILLION by just no longer using Post-It Notes.

You know, that was actually my first thought when I saw the headline... Why only 1 trillion?

Perhaps popular/conservative support for Pauls budget and these sorts of cuts and will spurr the other pres candidates to make similar proposals.

True, but you did the math and showed your work. I was lazy and just posted the answer.

Here is Paul's speech at the value voters summit 2 weeks ago. You will find biblical references replete and comments about faith, family and God and limited government. I suspect you may not have seen this... :)
