Spending Freeze Not Likely

I do not necessarily want a cut in spending in this country - I just want to change who does the spending.  The spending should be done by the people who earn the money, if they choose, and on what they choose, without any government interference.  That is what makes the economy work.  Politicians should stick to the very limited roles given them by the constitution instead of allocating such a sizeable portion of our capital and intervening through regulations and tax policy.  But because politicians have disregarded the constitution, and the people have no idea what rule they will break next, there is already a very real spending freeze underway in this economy, by the people.  If government would stick only to what it was authorized to do, and leave the rest to the people, most of these problems would resolve themselves.

The President wants a spending freeze but Ron Paul doesn't expect it will have much effect on the deficit.
