<<you're not a fiscal conservative>>> No, I think I'm the only fiscal conservative here. I would follow Ron Pauls example and stop Nation builing. I could easily cut military spending in half. Smaller more efficient military to accomplish such missions as we did with binLaden and the recent one in Somalia. I would end the drug war saving all that money. I would do away with food stamps as we know it. I would put a limit on medical expense - you know like death panels that Bachman so hated. I would end corporate welfare. Corporations are big boys and they don't need my tax money to build logging roads or price support for ethanol. I would increase the tax on oil to make it account for the environmental cost that capitalism just does allow in the cost. I would end all ALL federal money to education at the federal level. There, that's a start. These are real cost cutting ideas - not pretend stuff like Romney and Newt are proposing. My gawd, Newt said yesterday he would have a maned station on the Moon in eight years! Now how the holly hell does one do that and still claim to be a fiscal conservative? Noooooooooo - you guys don't even know what fiscal conservative means I swear!
