I like it, I like it alot!

Other details: "abolishing the Transportation Security Administration and returning responsibility for security to private property owners, abolishing corporate subsidies."

"Repeals ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley."

Nice chart at the end shows that RP isn't ending defense (as neocons will say), but just to 2006 war spending levels, which is ABOVE the average of total defense spending for the Bush administration! Also, as he has mentioned before, eliminate public debt held by the Fed.

Sounds like a great plan. However, Ron could be accused of flip-flopping, since he stated publicly that he would veto any "spending bills that contribute to an unbalanced budget." He would presumably do this in both years one and two.

I suppose he could make the argument that the first two are "contributing" to a relatively quick balanced budget solution.

One other comment...I would like to know how Dr. Paul plans to eliminate these departments? Does he expect the Congress to legislate them out of existence (laughable)? Or does he plan to use executive power to redirect their missions and funding? Or use executive orders (which he said he would not use to legislate, I believe)?

What is "Block grants Medicare?"

What is "Block grants Medicare?"

It means that each state will receive a lump sum of money, and they will distribute it accordingly to their citizens. This was something proposed by Gary Johnson on his campaign stump.

What is "Block grants Medicare?"

These are grants to the 50 states so they can continue medicare, instead of having it federally administrated.

Awesome concept.

Note to Herman Cain: This is how a knowledgeable grownup tackles our problems.

Freaking awesome!

This plan will really separate Ron Paul as utterly unique, with a bold vision for change (which people are getting panicky for in this economy..), and easily the most conservative. We must be prepared, however, for the msm to mock, laugh, and dismiss.

Media spin already in full effect. Wolf Blitzer just mentioned it, and pretty much all he said was that "Ron Paul proposes to cut a quarter of a million jobs".

 

[Fr0m_3ur0pe]

It's on Drudge, low on left. But with a picture!

And Cain is of crs on top.

No mention of dividend and capital gains taxes, yet I remember preliminary reports reporting those would be 0%?

 

[newbitech]

Just curious, if the Davis Bacon Act is repealed, how will wages be negotiated for government funded or subsidized projects? I know the answer is that the Federal government shouldn't be funding and subsidizing projects, by why alienate nearly 15 million working men and women who are more exposed to politics than most other non-union folks?

Seems a little absurd to me that this budget targets the unions pretty hard.

Does Ron Paul have something against people organizing for better wages?

Also, as he has mentioned before, eliminate public debt held by the Fed.

Yes but they dropped the ball because public debt is still 9826 billion in 2013 while it should be 7126 billion due to the fed elimination.

Please tell me that the plan addresses the income tax!

 

[HeyArchie]

Please tell me that the plan addresses the income tax!

I'm waiting until the press conference before I start asking these questions.

 

[Bobcat]

I just read the plan.

No where in the plan does it call for the income tax to be abolished, phased out, or even reduced by 1%.

This is a nightmare!

Please tell me this is not happening!
