FeedsReplying to a comment on Ron Paul and Civil Liberties
As a progressive, I believe in the power and ability of people to organize themselves for the improvement of society, through government and other institutions
but he's also called for eliminating most of the social, health, and human care programs run by the federal government, including the Department of Education.
Well, how do you guys think the report card looks after 40+ years of government taking over health care, welfare, schools, and social work? They've spent us $9 trillion in debt and rising fast, both parties, and no one can seriously claim that education has improved in this country in the past two generations, or that health care costs aren't absolutely out of control, or that the gap between rich and poorer is widening. Ready to take a look at a new approach? We're both spending ourselves into poverty and failing to solve the problems we're spending so much money on.
Read some of Dr. Paul's writings on domestic social spending here at [ronpaullibrary.com]. You will find that the same hands-off approach you favor in Iraq translates well back here.
