Interesting. So essentially he is talking of not so much reducing the federal government but basically dismantling it in it's current form and reforming it into something that is basically responsible for the military (although interestingly that list provides no provisions for an airforce presumably because planes hadn't been invented when it was written, so I guess it would have to be ammended) and currency control.
Interestingly also it does provide for copyright control which could be viewed as being consistent with SOPA?
I wonder if his supporters realise what a fundamental restructure this would be and whether such a change would even be practical.
Has he outlines a plan for doing this? I assume he couldn't just turn up on day 1 and basically tell all federal employees to go home.
I can't imagine that you'd really need more than a few thousand federal employees (not counting military) to provide these services.

You might be interested in reading Paul's proposed budget for his potential term in office. He realizes that instantly switching to a constitutional federal government would be terrible, so he takes a more gradual approach.
