And as I also said in my various comments, I'm not at all opposed to many of his programs. Cutting defense spending? I'm all for it! Cut the President's salary? Excellent idea, tying it to the income of the average American is a wonderful notion. Voting against laws that take away our civil liberties? Best thing I've heard in a while.
But apparnetly pointing out programs of his which I dislike and find flawed means I detest him...
I'm a grand admiral due to a rank in some of my groups...
I view providing an argument as beneficial. Provides an idealogical base.
And I will go find those quotes off wikipedia then. I haven't found any instances of wikipedia telling me the wrong information in the past, despite what others claim.
Over 15 trillion dollars? It's easy to throw those sums around. Because when you have an economy worth 15 trillion dollars, big sums are easy to find. Many nations in the world have debts higher than their GDP. America simply looks like it has an overwhelming debt problem because of the sheer size of our economy.
We were perfectly safe in 2006. You can do the same job with less money if you operate it more effectively. If you disagree with Ron Paul please dont come on here and try to look like you are really a "Grand Admiral" Though we do appreciate your opinion even if it is one of those that have been causing our downfall :)
And as I have said before, there are many policies of his I support. An America not at war with the world. His position on Gay Marrige, which isn't a government issue, merely a social one. Reducing the size of the CIA. Working against Domestic Surveillance. Voting against the Patriot act. I agree with all of these things. I simply view a large number of his ideas and policies as flawed, and certainly not things I would support. That's my opinion. If you don't share it, I understand that. I'm willing to listen to what you say. Just please think of what I said here, and don't attack me over it.
Employee rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees into sexual activity. Why don't they quit once the so-called harassment starts? Obviously the morals of the harasser cannot be defended, but how can the harassee escape some responsibility for the problem? Seeking protection under civil rights legislation is hardly acceptable.[137]
Easy for you to say, your a man... You use words like "So-Called harrasment to describe people having their dignity taken away? Your idea of justice for people is to have them quit their job? That the only protection for people should be when they are raped, not in any other circumstance?
Tell that to the poor people who died at the Aurora Movie Theatre shooting, the children who have died in the Virginia Tech Massacre, the Sikhs killed by that monstrous White Power racist- perhaps in an ideal world everybody could be able to defend themselves? But can children at a university effectively use guns to defend themselves? Can people blinded by smoke grenades shoot their attacker? Can people engaged in peaceful prayer be expected to carry weapons?
Yep, cause we all know that Corporations do a great job at regulating themselves... Just look at history, they don't. Enron anyone? Or perhaps the South Sea Company? And as always, this ignores the positive aspects of government, like making sure that people in America aren't you know, starving on the streets.
Gee, wonder how the Great Depression happened then?
In 1982, Paul was the prime mover in the creation of the U.S. Gold Commission, and in many public speeches Paul has voiced concern over the dominance of the current banking system and called for the return to a commodity-backed currency through a gradual reintroduction of hard currency, including both gold and silver.[59]
Too bad we tried that and there isn't enough of that stuff to do that.
And sure, for the agency points I raised earlier, he is going to transfer some of the roles ot other agencies? Great yes? But now we have even larger agencies that are even more complex and harder to deal with.
Apparnetly also wants to offer the states block grants for Medicare... gee whiz, throw money at the problem, it's way more efficient!
cut the top corporate tax rate to 15% (down from 35%)
allow companies to repatriate capital without additional taxation
permanently extend the Bush administration tax cuts
eliminate capital gains and dividends taxes
eliminate estate and gift taxes
end taxes on personal savings
sell federal lands and other federal assets
Food and Drug Administration by 40%
Centers for Disease Control by 20%
Department of Homeland Security by 20%
National Institutes of Health by 20%
Environmental Protection Agency by 30%
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration by 20%
Yep, cut all of the funding for vital agencies... We don't need food safety inspectors! We can live in Upton Sinclairs "The Jungle" again! Diseases aren't a problem in the modern world, and the environment is just a barrier to economic growth! And neither research to minimize the effects of drugs!
I might agree on the Homeland Security thing though. Might.
He also wants to eliminate agencies such as FEMA. I'm all right reforming them around, perhaps they are innefficient. But you need something from the Federal Government to help, something that has the resources to deal with major disasters. The States and Charity simply can't do that. They don't have the necessary infrastructure, money, planning, so on and so forth.
I've also quoted Wikipedia, but will move to another site if people raise the old accuracy claim...
As before, I re-affirm that reducing the size of the Government is a valid position. But government agencies like the following that he proposed to eliminate: Energy, HUD, Commerce, Interior, and Education. He has called for elimination of other federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,[19] and the Internal Revenue Service,[20] serve vital roles in our Government. What would you do without an agency to make sure that power companies don't run you over like they did to my State Citizens in California in 2003 when the crooks at Enron inflated the price of electricity and created rolling blackouts? Or HUD, which works to provide affordable housing to the American People? Interior which manages our resources, broad ranges of projects? Education, which while it can be reduced and made more efficient, still serves a vital role?
1. Voted Against a Nation Archives exhibit on Slavery and the Reconstruction. I asknowledge that less government spending is a valid position. However, the amount of money that we would spend on cultural exhibits like that is so tiny it's insignificant. Perhaps it wasn't authorized in the Constitution, but there are a lot of things in our modern society that we take for granted that aren't authorized in it. For something as nice as working to provide further knowledge to the American People, voting against it is awful.
