And therein is the problem. If we are talking about theory, it is a decent idea. We trim all the fat and gut programs that are just wasted money. Great idea. In reality we are talking about what a Paul presidency would be like. Among the cuts he would immediately want to make are eliminated the department of energy, HUD, department of commerce, department of interior and the department of education. He would get rid of the transportation security administration, stop all corporate subsidies, stop all foreign aid and pull all our troops home, ending any and all conflicts.

Some decent ideas here, but honestly do you really think he could pull this off?
