Ron Paul: 'War Propaganda' Hurting Economy

Mitt Romney said that cutting defense spending would be a “,” but Ron Paul believes it is the answer to our economic woes.

First he said the American people need to see through the "propaganda" that is attempting to control public opinion on foreign policy.

“It is all war propaganda to get the people's emotions going up to accept the next war going on,” said Paul. “Enough is enough, we don’t need any more of these wars, besides we can't afford them anymore. What we need is a healthy dose of truth so we can have a better foreign policy."

Paul dove further into his views on foreign policy during a Q&A session with Patch editors and voters at The Draft in Concord earlier today.

He aims to cut trillions of dollars in debt by addressing what he sees as major issues in our nation’s foreign policy.

Cutting our spending in conflicts overseas would give the nation a chance to work on reducing the crushing debt that rises by the minute.

He calls for a “more humble policy” that he said was held by The Founding Fathers. This is a policy that he said is not shared by the other candidates, who seem much more willing to go to war.

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with using diplomacy,” said Paul.

His “pro peace” policy would end what he sees as policing the world and nation-building around the globe when we should be focusing on our own country.

“I want to bring all the troops home,” said Paul. “Get the military back here and spending their money here at home.”
