Ron Paul GOP Debate
Would end war on drugs and reduce military spending unlike the people in charge now. Really only hope out there in the political landscape is this man. Will the people awake? What if all stoners did absentee ballots and voted Ron Paul. Then we cal all stay home on election day and blaze, while the ballots are drafted by the other people. It would be amazing if the absentee ballots outnumbered the others, and they had to count them to realize Ron was the winner.
In response to the failure of the supercommittee, Ron Paul (and his son Rand, a senator from Kentucky) pointed out that the $600 billion in defense cuts are actually just smaller increases in department spending. To wit, Rand:
“The interesting thing is there will be no cuts in military spending. This may surprise some people, but there will be no cuts in military spending because we’re only cutting proposed increases. If we do nothing, military spending goes up 23 percent over 10 years. If we sequester the money, it will still go up 16 percent. So spending is still rising under any of these plans.”
