The last time I checked the US Constitution, Congress is responsible for all spending. Specifically, the House of Representatives is tasked with originating all appropriations, which the Senate may amend (See Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the US Constitution). Precisely how does Ron Paul, if elected President, propose to cut spending without deliberately violating the US Constitution?
I thought Ron Paul and his fanatics were constitutionalists. Now I am wondering how many have actually read the document they profess to uphold.

Ron Paul will propose cutting the budget by $1 trillion dollars, fat chance of it happening. As for the "people wanting those cuts" yeah right! They will want those cuts until those cuts affect them, note the opposition to cutting the military and especially military projects and bases in the states of so-called fiscal conservatives that are going on as we speak.
You ought to read the Constitution at least once in your life.
Paul's cuts are based on eliminating cabinet positions. Only Congress has the authority to do that, so it won't happen, and if it doesn't happen, then his $1 TRILLION in cuts never materializes.

Hmmm!
As chief of the executive branch, couldn't he fire a lot of people?
Like, maybe, only keep on the janitorial staff?
