As to candidates promising unrealistic stuff, what else is new? Man, I've heard so much ignorant stuff in "What I'd do if I was president", and it doesn't surprise me. Most people aren't aware of how many intangibles there are. They think you can just lower the taxes, give more money to people in need, reduce tuition fees and pave new streets all at the same time and there will be no problem. You tell the blunt truth and there will be less votes, I can't blame candidates for being contrived.
And of course, democracy is not perfect... no system is.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who will tell you straight up that government can't fix the problem, that all these grand and noble intentions will actually only make things worse, and the solution is to put an end to all these government programs like the war on drugs, the war in iraq, no child left behind, medicare, medicaid, humpback whale research and what ever else costs the tax payers nearly half their income.
You get government out of these things and give it back to the private sector where people decided with their own dollars what is most important to them.
If your a zionist then be a zionist and send your own damn money to defend Israel, go and fight yourself if you want.

Well that's great but
1) Ron Paul will not become president
2) you can't just do everything the government does with the tax dollars just out of your own pocket for yourself, that's absurd
3) what's with the little man who doesn't pay much taxes to begin with... he/she gets sick, no help, no child support, nothing? that's effed up.
This system ain't perfect either. A blessing for the wealthy and wicked.

I have a question, cut back on something like medicare and medicaid how will certain people be able to afford to take care of themselves ? Cutting back on things like this would also include student loans. So how is some poor kid supposed to even go to community college in a effort to do something with his or her life ?

Teddy Roosevelt:
Ron Paul lives under the principal that the private market can deliver any service better then the government can. While generally true, I disagree when it comes to health care. And the government isn't the only source for student loans.
