“...And we will say to every bureaucrat except our military and law enforcement: no salary increases until the federal budget is balanced. And because a president must lead by example, we should cut his salary in half until the budget is balanced.”...

Golly, Perry would have to limp along on $200,000 a year? Oh the humanity!

It's a joke. He talks about wanting to balance the budget and cut spending to 18% of GDP and offers not a single, concrete suggestion on how he's going to do it. Cut his salary in half? To bring current spending to 18% of GDP would require upwards of $2 trillion in spending cuts in the current year, and all he's offering is kill off the Weather Service and dump the Education department. When is he going to get serious?

You haven't taken one look at any of his proposals because your only point on posting to Perry threads is to counter effective dissemination of information.

For those who care to understand Rick Perry's ideas for the country:

The Perry Plan: Energizing American Jobs and Security

The Perry Economic Plan: Cut, Balance and Grow
