Ron Paul has said, its a spending problem

Not a revenue problem. So as I understand RP, yes you can balance the budget with spending cuts. IMO when RP says he will cut a trillion in a year, he is well aware much more can be cut, if there is a will to do it. Romney on the other hand seems reluctant to even mention any real down sizing of government, other than vague references to balance the budget in 8 years. When Romney stated that cutting that much would hurt the economy, that's all you need to know to understand that Romney is not a fiscal conservative.
