I wonder why Ron Paul doesn't talk about slashing the military budget, it would appear the potential savings are enormous?

He has. He's consistently said he'd bring home American troops as soon as humanly possible as soon as he's elected and almost totally eradicate the foreign presence of the US military. which as you've mentioned would be one of the single biggest spending cuts America could make at this point. Which I think is a pretty gutsy move, considering just how deep that hole has been dug by previous presidents.

No more energy research, no more parks, no more public education, no more low income housing, no more roads & bridges. What a grand utopia he has planned for us.

I think you're forgetting just how much debt this man is trying to get your country out of. Of the roughly $40 Trillion of Total world debt the US is responsible for about a quarter of it. I'd say a few sacrifices are going to have to be made mate.
