Gary Johnson wants a 43 percent spending cut

Here's someone with goals a little more ambitious than the congressional Republicans

Gary Johnson, former Republican governor of New Mexico and likely 2012 presidential candidate, is serious when he says he wants to end deficit spending. He's so serious that he advocates cutting federal spending by 43 percent.

Johnson discusses repealing Obamacare and Medicare Part D, the raising of the Social Security retirement age, slashing Medicaid, plus the legallization of marijuana.
