New Study: Ron Paul is the only candidate who would cut spending
By James W. Harris
American Chronicle

....In fact, Paul´s proposals would cut the bloated federal budget by a whopping $150 billion.

The rest of the candidates might as well adopt the old hit song "Big Spender" ("Hey, big spender!") as their campaign theme.

The other Republicans strut around the campaign circuit, describing themselves as "fiscal conservatives" and boasting about cutting back government.

But the NTUF exposes them for what they are: advocates of an even bigger, even more bloated, even more intrusive federal government than we have today.

* John McCain´s proposals would result in a $6.9 billion spending hike.
* Mitt Romney´s programs would result in a $19.5 billion spending hike.
* Mike Huckabee´s proposals would result in a $54.2 billion spending hike.

As for the Democrats:

* Hillary Clinton´s proposals would result in a $218.2 billion spending hike.
* Barack Obama´s proposals would result in a $287.0 billion spending hike.
