He should include to offer them a one time bounty, make them bounty hunters against gvt waste. Like that phony McCain once said " lets make them famous" He should also include bounty hunting on gvt positions in depts that are not needed or no justification of them earning a pay check.
I still won't vote for him if he runs for president but we shall see...I still like Napolitano and Ventura better...
Like father, like son. Taking another step forward in 2011, the Texas congressman and darling of the more libertarian, Tea Party wing of the Republican Party is continuing to walk the walk, returning a whopping $140,000 in unused office funds to the U.S. Treasury for the purpose of paying down the national debt. The sum is nearly 10% of his office funds and a 40% increase over the $100,000 he returned last year.
In 2009, Ron Paul returned $90,000 from his office budget, and in 2008, he returned $58,000.
