Ron Paul is willing to shift spending from empire building and maintenance to domestic spending if there is a net cut in total spending. I would advise Dr. Paul to give us specific numbers and compare them with Obama's 5 year freeze in domestic spending. Progressives who hear that Ron Paul is willing to invest more in the comprehensive green economy than Obama are bound to open their eyes and ears.
This blog, written by a progressive who still hopes for change, seeks to persuade readers that the progressive agenda has been put on hold until 2016 except that by electing Ron Paul in 2012, we end endless wars and bring troops home to eventually have resources to build the peaceful green economy.
