The Freedom President
My Plan for a Freedom President How I would put the Constitution back in the Oval Office
by Ron Paul
An excerpt from the article:
A constitutionalist president’s budget should do the following:
- Reduce overall federal spending
- Prioritize cuts in oversize expenditures, especially the military
- Prioritize cuts in corporate welfare
- Use 50 percent of the savings from cuts in overseas spending to shore up entitlement programs for those who are dependent on them and the other 50 percent to pay down the debt
- Provide for reduction in federal bureaucracy and lay out a plan to return responsibility for education to the states
- Begin transitioning entitlement programs from a system where all Americans are forced to participate into one where taxpayers can opt out of the programs and make their own provisions for retirement and medical care
