stick 2 Posted January 31, 2008 January 30, 2008 National Taxpayers Union: Only Ron Paul Would Cut Spending NTU Report: Other Republicans would increase spending by billions According to a report released Tuesday by the National Taxpayers Union, Texas Congressman Ron Paul is the only remaining presidential candidate who proposes net spending cuts. According to the report, Congressman Paul’s proposals would cut government spending by over $150 billion, a conservative estimate of the spending reductions Dr. Paul has proposed. The report concludes that the other remaining Republican candidates, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Mike Huckabee, have proposed spending increases of $19.5 billion, $6.9 billion and $54 billion respectively. “It should come as no surprise that when you crunch the numbers Ron Paul is the only Republican who would actually shrink the size and cost of the federal government,” said Ron Paul campaign economic advisor Don Luskin. “Romney, McCain and Huckabee don’t hold a candle to Ron Paul – the only true fiscal conservative running for President.” In ten terms in Congress, Ron Paul has never voted for a tax increase or for an unbalanced budget. ~STICK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
