I like Rand Paul a lot, and I get his point here. But given all that is going on, his timing is off a hair. IMHO.
He should beat GOPer PRyno upside the head for not having ANY regular order on budgeting for a decade.
If the choice is 5ks deal or a shutdown, let her shut down. Rand Paul is right. I’m so sick of these hypocritical RINOs.
Putting the screws to Paul.... Obviously Trump’s going to sign whatever comes across his desk. Sad this country is just going down the s*** hole with it’s spending. No one will ever take a stand short of Anarchy in the streets when people’s checks get cut off for sitting on her ass at home and self responsible Patriots take acception.
Rand is all about Rand. the senior senator from msnbc must be upset because his camera time took a hit while he was recuperating from the mugging.
his tv bookings needed a lift.
God Bless this national hero trying to save us from insane spending beyond what ever obama did. Adding 2 trillion in debt for our children not including the impending doom of rising interest rates on our 20 trillion in debt propelled in large measure by leftists republicrats. Mark carefully the rinos that vote for this and politically know they are history. If this passes and is signed— the republicans are finished, 20% of us walk away!!! PLEASE contact your RINO and tell them NO BUENO!! and where is out damned WALL?? We can win this and shut down this damned nonessential government if we fight!! How3 did this happen?
Where is Cruz and Lee?
How much pork was Texas and Utah promised?
There are times when I like Rand Paul, and there are times when I wish he would not let his Libertarian leanings get the better of him. This is one of those times for the latter. He’s going to singlehandedly keep me from going to work in the morning.
Rand Paul was nearly killed. He helped save Scalise.
The Dems and Pubs have it out for him.
Why are they so afraid to shut down useless agencies? They could easily cut 25% of all government workers and make the other 75% work an honest day.
If Rand is against it, I’m against it.
Twenty trillion in debt and they can’t even find a way to balance the budget for one solitary year?
Shut it down.
Good for him.
Rub the fact of hemohrage-level overspending in their faces.
Let them buy off someone else to get their free money through.
Rand thinks he’s special.
I don’t.
you know what perfectly pure senator paul would be doing if he was President?
exactly what DJT is doing. it’s called reality. the only difference is that he wouldn’t be in the senate to single handedly destroy his own agenda.
I’d be happy if Trump told congress that he finds himself persuaded by many of Rand’s points, and has decided to shut it down and not to sign this thing, and that they should consider actually doing their constitutionally mandated jobs.
Meanwhile, the DACA expiration clock is ticking...
I’m in agreement with Senator Paul - this deal blows, wheres the wall? The DACAns don’t deserve amnesty this is all a bunch of BS. Shut it down.
We have a central bank that can print any amount of fiat money, and monetize any amount of debt. How could any politician resist unlimited spending?
An unbacked, printed currency will always favor the Government, and its cronies. Its why everyone’s a progressive SJW now.
I guess the military can take it in the shorts again. Paul has always been anti-military.
