There is a very large elephant in the room. It threatens everything that we Americans hold dear: our country, our families, our very lives. It is not terrorism. It is not "Islamofascists". It is our own government and its out of control spending.
This is the big elephant in the corner that the other candidates will barely even admit exists. The baby-boomers will start retiring this January whereupon they start collecting Social Security. As they continue to get older, their medical costs will start taxing Medicare. We
do not have the money to pay for the future payments we owe for Social Security and Medicare. It has long since been spent on other things, and due to the low birthrate as well as the 40 million babies we have slaughtered in the past four decades, we do not have enough younger workers to make up the difference. The chief economists of our nation estimate that we are facing a $40 trillion dollar debt just to pay off these two programs alone.
Ron Paul is the
only Republican candidate who will not only admit that the elephant exists but has a real plan to address it. By cutting back our military and foreign aid spending (around $1 trillion per year) and ending the Iraq War, we can focus on economic reform, government cutbacks, and a serious effort to not only balance the budget but actually start eliminating our debt.
If you don't believe me, I encourage you to watch the following and consider what the other candidate intend to do about it. We need serious reform, and only one candidate has the courage and conviction to see it done.
