Everything I'm hearing is good except they're arguing we cut defense/military spending in order to give more at home. Still, it's a good start. Even Ron has said he wouldn't touch domestic spending if we would just reform foreign policy.

When the hell did Ron say that? If he did, that's VERY disappointing.

He said he could compromise if there were net cuts.

What Ron has actually said is that we can't precipitously end all our domestic welfare and social security programs - they would need to be wound down gradually, simply to give all the people who have learned and been encouraged to become dependent on them time to be weaned off of the dole with minimal harm or breakdown of social cohesion. After all, if we were somehow able to entirely shut down Welfare, Medicaid, and Social Security tomorrow, who could doubt there would be rioting in the streets? On the other hand, we can end our seemingly interminable attempts at nation-building, wars of occupation, and large, expensive foreign military garrisons quite quickly with relatively little harm to us as a nation.

Therefore, he would cut foreign spending dramatically and quickly, and use the savings to help pay for our expensive domestic entitlements programs to keep them from collapsing for the decade or more it would take to gradually unwind and reduce them. It's really a very sound strategy, and takes into the account the lessons of Burkean conservatism. It goes to show that Ron's serious about effecting systemic change, and isn't just issuing soundbites.

Why would anybody watch O'Really instead of the judge. Maybe you don't get Fox Biz?

Anyway, Ron wants to cut social programs too - but gradually, and not before giving out everything that was promised to those who paid in. And he doesn't want to cut off the dependent overnight, in a cruel way.

He's said it before. I think he says it when he is arguing with liberals. He says if we cut our trillion dollar foreign empire we could spend more at home. This can go either way, because if we cut the military empire, the people would have more money. The government doesn't necessarily have to spend it on domestic programs.

That's not the video with the women in question, though.
