They could go back to 2000 spending levels and remove income tax, income tax is not the only revenue. Lose wasteful programs.
There is lots of different ways.
Yes the problem with that is what the government has done, same thing Labour has done over here.
Programs, and the overblown IRS, are wasteful because governments needed more jobs. So if every dollar you save in reducing IRS waste, is a dollar you spend on the new unemployed person you made by getting rid of their wasteful job on the IRS.
You're moving around where that dollar is spent, not stopping the dollar being spent.
We(us/uk, and many other western countries) have been hiding reducing job numbers for decades doing this, if you suddenly remove all the jobs, we won't stop the spending. Thats why the Torys have worked insanely hard to cut spending without losing jobs, and why they've only cut 6billion from a 160billion deficit. We've been left in a situation where cutting the 100billion we need, and we absolutely can do, in jobs that simply aren't required. Simple tax, less paperwork in the NHS, police, social, etc, etc, way less jobs, but way more unemployment.
The world economy is a joke, if we borrow 100billion to pay for jobs we've made up, woo, if we put them all on the dole and increase unemployed by 5 million, everyone suddenly see's the country as in crisis, despite being in exactly the same situation basically. All a complete joke, Ron Paul has no plan to increase jobs, just increase unemployment. What the US/uk need to do is move people from wasteful IRS jobs into required, tax generating(not paid from tax) jobs, he has no plan to do this, at all.
Every one of his plans are great, stop wasting everywhere, none of his plans will actually cut spending, increase unemployment and utterly devestate the economy.
He is saying what needs to be said, people need to realise the current economy/system is not working, worldwide.
It all boils down to one very simple thing, and its not even stupid cheap labour in the east and lost jobs.
Increasing world population of people who need jobs, decreasing number of jobs needed = uh oh.
Its as simple as the fact that it used to take 100 people a few weeks to build the first cars, then it took 50 people a week per car, now a plant mostly filled with robots and a half dozen people can build 100 cars a day.
The world simply can't sustain the amount of jobs, time and workload we used to. To a certain degree it is better to pay people to waste their time in pointless jobs, a factor in the riots was simply a lot of bored people with nothing else to do, no job to go to and living off handouts. More people on benefits doing nothing rather than working in an office even if their job is pointless, gives people something to do.
They do look a lot like
