Ron Paul, the U.S. presidential candidate who says he'll shrink government the most, is attracting more campaign donations than any of his Republican rivals from both U.S. government workers and employees of the biggest federal contractors. Megan Hughes reports on Bloomberg Television's "Bottom Line." Mark Crumpton also speaks.

I think if Ron Paul does what he intends, he will trigger a depression that will make the "great" depression look small. You can't make society rely on government, and then take it out from under them in a presidential term. You're asking for trouble, and going to make another hero president (the one that succeeds you).

It's about the "paradox" of federal employees supporting someone who will end their jobs
So it's somewhat of an economical and philosophical thread mostly

Now what is your opinion on this "paradox" as they call it where federal employees are supporting Ron Paul the most on the right?
Wars, that's slightly different, troops want to come home
Also they are overseas fighting for "our freedoms" but when they come home they see their employers depleting freedoms the most
But Federal employees is a slightly different arena is it not?
