Sounds good to me.

[who knows what evil?]

Excellent! Now there’s some damn ‘hope and change’!

[Tallguy]

It’s a start...

[Gator113]

From what I see so far, I LIKE it.

[RdhseRat]

Eliminating 4 agencies is just a good start!!!

[Peter from Rutland]

APPLAUSE!!

Paul/Paul 2012!!!

[pallis]

It’s a good start. I’d also like to see a law saying that every budget passed must cut the size of the federal government.

[The Citizen Soldier]

For those wanting to put a label on this, it's called LEADERSHIP.

[OldNewYork]

Draft this man for president in 2012.

Mr. Paul forgot about the departments of Interior and EPA.

I thought libertarians were concerned about private property but I guess not. At least I was when I was a libertarian, but I guess times change and libertarians now lean more towards fascism.

[Howie66]

Wow!!

I like his thinking!!

[Popman]

Among the items on the cutting room floor are the Departments of Education, Energy, Commerce and Housing and Urban Development.

It will be a cold day in hell when these dept are axed.

Nobody in DC has the political will to cut them. Words are just words, when the cutting time comes, nobody but a few in DC have the backbone or cajoles to actually do it. You need more than a few good men

Personally, I like to add about a dozen more but it will never happen, either.

We could cut 50 % of the government tomorrow and I seriously doubt anybody would actually notice and if informed would not care

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Wonderful. Now add EPA and BATFE and we are golden!

[DTogo]

Nice intro with the Gipper pic.

[Repeal The 17th]

“Sen. Paul unveils 5-Year budget plan to eliminate four Federal Agencies”
-
X-Department of Education...
X-Department of Energy...
X-Department of Commerce...
X-Department of Housing and Urban Development...

4 Down; how many more to go?

[benldguy]

He forgot the Department of Labor!

[trubolotta]

I’m getting a bit gisgusted with the sniping going on at FR just because he “ain’t my guy”. He may not be mine either but at least he made his position known. As for cutting other departments, I agree but let’s start with the most useless, dangerous and vulnerable where a solid case can be made and people will jump on board. He picked the four best cases. Get the ball rolling and Paul is doing that, from the Senate!

[metmom]

I can live with that.

I hope he’s successful.

[GatorGirl]

Nice plan.

But could we stop talking about drafting all these first year Senators? Wasn’t that part of the issue with Zero? He was a Senator for a matter of months before starting to run for President?

Don’t forget, the President doesn’t legislate. A lot of these solutions are going to have to come from Congress and we need solid Conservative leadership there too. If we can flip the Senate and gain a nice majority we can work with Zero’s Republican replacement and fix all these issues.

Rant off!
