Is the 1.4B in NY Medicaid waste, fraud, and abuse indicative of a general lack of concern on the part of government when they spend ‘other people’s money’?

Is there ONE set of cajonies in Congress?

Why doesn't someone stand up to that traitor in the White House, arrest him for treason, try him, and send him to GITMO?

I don't think there is ONE brave honorable man in Congress or they would be screaming to high heaven about this. I truely believe that they are all scared to stand up.

Obama's job council is filled with CEOs who import cheap goods from China while criticizing Romney for outsourcing. Audacious hypocrisy or politics as usual?

BOTH!

GET THE SENIOR VOTE! ADD TO REPUB PLATFORM STOP FED TAX ON SSI AND SSDI. = VOTES
PS DO IT BEFORE THE DEMS.!

The Washington Times has written extensively on the Fed's conflicts of interests and you are credited with getting legislation passed to address that. What other areas still concern you about the Fed?

You're right. Oil politics, pHARMa politics, law enforcement politics, and so much more is behind this. Legalize it already!

Everyone is worried about being politically correct... it will make dollars so it must make sense

I agree that marijuana needs to be legalized, not because it would generate revenue but because government has no right to tell American citizens what we can do behind closed doors. Drug prohibition has nothing to do with protecting us from the evils of drugs and everything to do with controlling us. Legalization, even if it wasn't taxed to provide revenue, would save us the billions of dollars we spend fighting a drug war we can't win, not to mention the fact that it would do more to curb cartel violence than anything else we could possibly do, and make it less accessible to kids.

Lets play sterotypes.

How many "Pot heads" Do you see doing nothing with there lives? Doing nothing but wasting time and smoking? How many "pot heads" do you see failing classes, getting in trouble for non marijuana affiliated charges?

The answer is a lot more than non-smokers. It is a stepping stone drug, and should not be legalized.

What Rep. Paul is saying is that it SHOULD NOT be up to the fed. govt. Alcohol is a gateway drug as well and we all know about prohibition. I don't advocate smoking pot but it isn't a federal problem. He is showing us how to shrink fed. govt. by putting the laws in the hands of the states and "The People". At the state level the people vote on what we want legal or not rather than the govt. ramming thru what they think is "best" for us. Wake up and look around, they are taking our freedoms & here is a man who isn't like all of the other politicians. Thank you Rep. Paul for standing up!

My druggy neighbors, pushing drugs, stealing & selling here in the neighborhood,because unable and unwilling to hold a job, are a sign that lawlessness in nations like U. S. and Mexico is not a good thing. President Abraham Lincoln ran on a platform to stop lawlessness. President George Washington and President James Madison said if Americaever stops being a moral nation, she will fall.

Here's a great idea:
There is a plan floating around Washington to cut the budget 1% each year for EIGHT years and then institute a balanced budget Constitutional Ammendment.
How about cutting the budget 8% for ONE year... That way, it will all be done under this watch so that if it doesn't happen, we will know who to tar and feather!

Rep. Paul, I'm a Libertarian and I like almost all things you stand for, except your foreign policy. Why do you continue to espouse isolationism for the U.S.? This is not the 1950's anymore. We have to be involved in global politics.

Would you like a foreign presence here in America telling us what we can do, where we can go, what time to be off the streets? Because that is what we are doing all over the world and we reap a lot of negativity from it. We can have bases in our allies countries to be on the ready, but to force our agenda on them isn't right. What if the tables were turned and Sharia Law was being forced unto us? It is happening in many places and they are trying to force it here. Google Blowback and read/see how we are paying for our intrusion into other countries.

I support your ideas 100%, get out of Afgan, we dont need to police the world, lets take care of ourselves. How about a loaf of bread for a gallon of oil. Please stay honest and true.
