He would cut 100 billion from the budget by reducing their responsibility and by pulling them out of allied areas where they aren't needed. Why do Japan and Germany need us there to protect them? Welfare programs are done better through private charities, so why waste government dollars when there's a better alternative? Habitat for Humanity, for example, does a far better job of getting low-income families into stable homes than subsidized housing. And taxes would be lowered for everyone, not just the richest Americans.
By reducing the burden of the government to just protecting our rights and our land, you remove a great weight from the people. Or do you think the government does a better job of spending your money than you do?
I'm voting Libertarian. I don't care if it's not going to produce a viable result, it shows my support for an alternative to a two-party system.
