I haven't been able to find the details on Rand's budget proposal. Does he cut funding for the DEA? That is an obvious (redundant) agency for eliminating entirely.

I couldn't find anything about that either. I know that he made huge cuts to the FDA.Originally Posted by Brian4Liberty
The federal government needs to get rid of the alphabet agencies and stick with the U.S. Marshals, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Air Force to cover the land, coastline and air enforcement.
He cut something in justice, but I'm not sure all of what it did, even after going to its web page. I was all for him cutting it, given that. The bill is only 25 pages, and easy to read. He even makes snarky comments kind of, and once quotes Bastiat in the white paper discussing it.
Here, the white paper is longer than the bill at 37 pages, but it discusses what was cut. http://www.randpaul2010.com/wp-conte...ion-cuts-2.pdf
He cuts the FCC by 22% which might cramp their regulating the internet.

I never saw anything about the DEA. This guy breaks it down pretty well.
