According to the non-partisan National Taxpayers Union, Presidential candidate and 10-term Congressman Dr. Ron Paul is the only remaining candidate, from either party, that will cut spending.

A recent report by the NTU shows that Paul’s proposals will cut spending by over $150 billion. Paul’s campaign claims that this is a “conservative estimate”, but even as so it is the better than any of the other candidates.

The proposals of current Republican “front-runners” Mitt Romney and John McCain would actually increase spending by $19.5 billion and $6.9 billion.
