Give Ron Paul Serious Consideration

As an interested observer of the GOP race I am increasingly warming up to Ron Paul as the anti-establishment candidate. While N.Gingrich stands out as a viable alternative to the current administration the fact is he is a career politician with plenty of "baggage" to haunt him. Though his lower, flat tax proposals have merit it is unclear how far he plans to go to get the budget mess under control and the numbers don't entirely add up. We are racking up over $1 Trillion in deficits per year and Mr. Paul is calling for the same in budget cuts. We must focus first on spending cuts and second on tax reductions. Mr. Paul wants to reduce the power of the Fed and eliminate Bernanke to stop the easy money, stabilize our currency and curb inflation expectations. He recognizes our international power, influence depends first on getting our finances in order. We cannot afford to be the Lone Ranger of the world anymore; defense spending can and must be cut as well as everything else. The federal government is the fast growing gorilla in the room and Ron Paul stands for stopping that growth that is infringing on our freedom.
