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.

Being that he is hovering around 4th place in most polls, he could promise rainbows and Skittle-pooping unicorns for everyone.

It's almost like the majority of Americans think that he's bat$h!t crazy or something

It is that way with the whole Republican field. I don't agree with "XYZ" "He/She is just stupid/wrong for that position". I don't like Romney's health care position, I don't like Paul's foreign policy, I don't like Perry's position on immigration, blah, blah, blah.

4 years ago Hillary Clinton was all but crowned the Democratic presidential candidate, we see what happened there. Saying Paul is unelectable would be a mistake, he is after all an elected member of Congress. His supporters are definitely passionate about him.

I don't know how many times I have heard Carl Rove or Larry Sabato offer their "professional opinion" as to how unserious a candidate Herman Cain is. He shouldn't be visiting Tennessee and Texas now, he needs to focus on the early Caucus/ Primary states... Yet every time a poll comes out, a few more Americans have heard him or heard about him, and his numbers are up a little. Maybe, just maybe the professional pundits haven't seen an election like this one. I have a feeling that the Republican party might not have Mr. Romney as the candidate no matter how hard the Democrat friendly media and Republican establishment seem to be pushing him as the only candidate that can beat he President.

Ron Paul would go to extremes on a lot of issues. I agree with most of the fiscal and cost-cuting ones. That would dictate some pullback of foreign committments. The thing I like is that he's not afraid to discuss these things.
