The Republicans havent balanced a budget at the federal level in years even after having been the majority party in the House and Senate for the first 6 years of the Bush administration. Their candidates dont even talk about the issue, instead they joke about which country we are going to war over next, or pretend like they can solve the immigration issue by building one long fence. At least the Democrats will bust the budget on domestic priorities that matter to people here. There is no good reason for Paul supporters to support a moralizing, big government Republican party, when Libertarians are the ones who actually are making an argument for smaller government that promises more freedom and less wars.
