Reported in The New American (Nov. 21): If honesty prevailed, the touted $15 trillion national debt actually amounts to $100 trillion when including unfunded obligations, namely Social Security, Medicare, etc.
Ron Paul, GOP presidential candidate and lone constitutionalist, stands virtually alone when addressing this catastrophe. The Texas realist issued an 11-page blueprint (Nov. 17) for dealing with the debt crisis. As president, he'd end unconstitutional foreign aid and abolish five unwarranted Cabinet departments (Energy, Housing, Commerce, Interior and Education); engineer a 10-percent cut in the federal work force; and eliminate the Transportation Security Administration, relying on airlines to provide passenger safety.
He'd also allow young Americans to opt out of the Ponzi scheme (Social Security), repeal the Dodd-Frank, Sarbanes-Oxley and ObamaCare measures, cancel all regulations begun by presidential executive orders while accepting only the median personal income of American workers, $39,336, as pay.
A stealth organization aimed at destroying our nation is attacking it. These operatives consist of one-world government advocates, their allies in Congress, the other internationalist presidential candidates (including the current president), and those elites who champion the concentration of world political and economic power. They all advocate crippling debt to erode our sovereignty and effectuate one-world government. And these miscreants, fearing Ron Paul will foil their evil schemes, accuse him of extremism!
Remember, nothing changes if he isn't nominated and elected.
