At what price? Smaller government = smaller economy.
With a smaller government we are less safe.

What makes you think just because Ron Paul wants to get rid of these organisations that he won't replace them with more constitutional friendly organisations instead? FEMA could be replaced with an equally useful and more caring organisation who's soul purpose wasn't to partake in false flag attacks even pre-purchasing mass graves to dispose of people in.
As for your Federal Reserve comment about if it was abolished that it would destroy the country, have you seen what the Federal Reserve has done to the country already? It's absolutely (and purposely) decimated the economy, the way the Federal Reserves is operated is by no means useful or fair.
Still amazes people think the Government controls the monetary system in the US. So I ask the simple question, "What Government would lend itself money and be expected to pay back interest on money they supposedly own and print themselves?"
The Federal Reserve definitely needs to be ended, even if it's the only thing Ron Paul does if he ever became president which most likely and sadly will never happen. If he were to ever become president, he no doubt would be assassinated much like every other president in history who tried doing something good.

Do you have any idea the ideology behind our economy?
Do you know who John Maynard Keynes is?
Do you know who F.A. Hayek is?
Do you understand the difference between Keynesian and Austrian economics?
I will tell you this, and use China as an example.
You cannot spend/borrow your way out of a 14 trillion dollar deficit.
You must produce/sell your way out of a deficit.
What export does the U.S. have left? Steel? I wonder how many of the (approx.) 230,000,000 potential working people are employed by the steel manufacturing industry?
We are an import/service economy. [sarcasm] I wonder if we can buy enough things with borrowed money and service them enough to get out of our recession.[/sarcasm]

I am always amazed at how people can look at a 14 trillion debt and claim that if we shut the government down to get rid of it we'd have a disaster. Wake up the disaster as already happened, the solution more than obvious, for many centuries we survived without al lthese programs to wipe our butts that we have today, can you really claim that all those decades of this countries founding were a disaster? If you are trying to scare people about becoming untehtered from the umbillical cord of the state then you must want to protect them and the corporations that profit off the power of the state to disrupt their competition, you might as well claim fascism would be better, monopolies make more sense and wars make us feel good about ourselves. These kinds of facts disgust me, to think the wars coming to an end would be a disaster or that grown ups should have access to drugs they need and not have the state or for profit corporations forcing them to take drugs or denying them drugs via government fiat, then you havea ton of research to do my friend, please read a dozen books by Thomas Sasze or a dozen by Paul or some Hayek or Mises, we are up to our necks in crony capitalism and Obama has worked for the team blue squad to bring this mess about, they bailed out the banks at our expense, the least they could have done was instead bailed the people out and then they could have paid the banks back, the banks would have gotten the money anyways! But really nobody should be bailed out lest of all the overleveraged CDS and CDO SIV's....Obama's just as greedy as anyone else, he can be bought by a bank for a price, we need adults running this country not children with their hands out whom then turn around and teach us all to do the same.

Now, THIS is an example of illogical hatred towards Ron Paul.
I question whether he would be able to keep his policies as President.
But, I do not see him as a bad choice. I DO see the GOP's hand-picked "winner" of the debate as a poor, fairly unknown choice (Herman Cain).
