We currently borrow money to do unconstitutional things, and are (are not playing at, are) the world’s policeman. It is a good thing to be the world’s policeman. It is not even unconstitutional to be the world’s policeman.
It is far better than the alternative, which is to sometimes be the criminal in the eye of whomever is the world’s policeman, or for there to be no policeman.
If Ron Paul is elected, I am perfectly confident there will be a genuinely multi-polar great power’s war within ten years, and likely just five–his stated policy goals are that disastrously blinkered. It is likely the troops we bring home will have to fight here. That’s not better.
We don’t need Ron Paul to get our economic house in order, and his all at once; take a leaf blower to the house of cards approach guarantees more pain than is required. His is not creative destruction, it’s just destruction.
