Paul: Yeah I’d Cut Defense…Overseas Defense

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) didn’t back down on his promises to cut defense spending when asked about it at the Republican debate in South Carolina on Monday night. When a questioner asked Paul if he’s concerned about the effects on American jobs should those cuts come to pass, Paul said “I want to cut money, overseas money. That’s what I want to do….I would probably have more bases at home. We were closing them down in the 1990s and building them overseas. That’s how we got in trouble. We would save more money and have a stronger national defense and that’s what we should do.”
