Ron Paul Announces Ambitious
‘Plan to Restore America’
Realistic solutions to spending, tax challenges​

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced the release of Dr. Paul’s “Plan to Restore America,” an ambitious federal government spending, tax and reform blueprint that as President he will implement.

The plan, authored by Paul’s campaign staff at his direction, promises to restore the federal government to its former Constitutionally-limited, smaller-government and less-burdensome place. The plan cuts $1 trillion in federal spending during the first year of a Paul Presidency and delivers a balanced budget in year three of a Paul Presidency.

“Ron Paul’s plan is the only one that seriously addresses the economic and budgetary problems our nation faces. It cuts $1 trillion in one year, and slashes regulations and taxes so our economy can grow and create jobs,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton, a plan co-author.

“It’s the only plan offered by a presidential candidate that actually balances the budget and begins to pay down the debt. And it’s the only plan being offered that tries to reign in the Federal Reserve and get inflation under control.”

Cuts totaling $1 trillion during the first year of a Paul Presidency would be achieved by eliminating five federal cabinet departments – the Departments of Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Commerce, Interior and Education. Cuts of this scale will also be accomplished by a Paul Presidency abolishing the Transportation Security Administration and returning responsibility for security to private property owners, abolishing corporate subsidies, stopping foreign aid, ending foreign wars, and returning most other spending to 2006 levels.

[trey4sports]

nice!

 

[crhoades]

This hurts my head. Why can't we just implement the simple, transparent plan: 9,9,9?

Sticky?

Edit: Stop the presses! Ron Paul is the first serious presidential candidate to include a personal pay cut in his budget!


CUTTING GOVERNMENT WASTE:
Makes a 10% reduction in the federal workforce,
slashes Congressional pay and perks, and curbs
excessive federal travel. To stand with the American
People, President Paul will take a salary of $39,336,
approximately equal to the median personal income of
the American worker.

That should be for house and senate as well!

I'll be reading over this later today.

I see some good news for those worrying about the defense budget .

I just hope he articulates it well. 999 sounds pretty but there is also another 9 in there as well. I like the name Plan to Restore America.

It would be great if the spending charts compared to Herman Cain's plan, which would look like a disaster compared to Dr. Paul

 

[zerosdontcount]

Also what bout income tax?

Hell, even Kevin Williamson from the NRO is praising this:

Just read through it. Now this is what we've all been asking for! Perfect timing as well. This will contrast with both Mitt and Cain very well. Set the tone for the debate and BTO.

I'm thinking Ron Paul's Restore America Plan.... Ron Paul's R.A.P. we need to get the Hayek rapper to put this plan to music! Talking about going viral. LOL!

 

[zerosdontcount]

He needs to push this in the debates more than the 9-9-9 plan

I have skimmed over the budget but I dont understand one thing:
If he pulls troops home from around the globe, why would he need defense spending to equal what it did in 2006 (when you were already overspending)? Shouldn't it be at least as low as 2001 before going to Afghanistan if not lower?

Is this posted elsewhere yet? I can't seem to access the file that's linked to the "list-manage.com" site.

One of the biggest expenses in the military is payroll. I'm not sure how many people are in the military today as compared to 2006 and 2001. But I suspect the Paul campaign doesn't want to give the impression that he's going to just lay off a bunch of unneeded soldiers. I get pushback on that from both liberals and conservatives (some here). So I'm guessing the savings represents what's saved from not having them "over there". Long term the savings can be larger as recruiting goals are recalibrated.
