"Like I said though --- you'll have to read his policy position papers or speeches yourself to find your answers." I've tried. Sadly, he presents no roadmap, or even conceptual waypoints for how to achieve what he says is desirable. Rather, he goes in detail about the problem, as he sees it, without a hint of how to get from "here to there." "You seem to like posing unrealistic and or Hobbesian [sic] Choices." Not so. I just don't see how a new President, especially one sure to be without much Congressional support, can make things he desires come to fruition. You can go through Paul's positions, one by one, and never get a clue as to how he could make his desired world happen. The NEA won't sit down and shut up when he proposes his school voucher program, the Federal Reserve System won't meekly lock its doors and quit manipulating the money supply when he proposes a return to the Gold Standard, and the world won't decide we're really pretty nice guys when he cuts off foreign aid and withdraws the troops that keep the world stable. These aren't "Hobbesian Choices" (and I believe you misused the term), they are real and practical questions. Anyone who wishes to support Dr Paul should be aware of the turmoil his election might cause, and the real and practical harm that would result.
