I am tired of the little attention whore Rand Paul. Try working with people to arrive at a compromise bill instead of bitching about what others have done. I get the feeling everyone up there who has to work with him are tired of his antics.
THe deal was negotiated in secret between McConnell, Schumer, Pelosi, Ryan and their select representatives. Rand and other fiscal conservatives were cut out. He is not grandstanding, but speaking for us, who had no voice in giving away our kids future to the heavy burden of enormous debt.
primary that self obsessed jack wagon. put someone in there that WON’T singlehandedly torpedo DJT’s entire legislative agenda.
A compromise bill? Does anybody remember DJT’s campaign promise to cut federal spending “17, 18, maybe 20%.” The only acceptable compromise would be a cut in federal spending by say 8-10%.
Not even Fox has raised this issue. He made this campaign promise. I watched it with my own eyes.
If I were in a position to do so, there is NOTHING I would enjoy more than taking a hacksaw to the federal budget.
This spending abomination adds $500,000,000,000.00 to the deficit. Get a clue. This deal sucks!
Who gives a flying doughnut what they think? The only thing that matters to me is what I think. I know what is right and wrong. And in this case, our buddy is right!
“..which would raise government spending, avert a government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling...”
In light of that line, I’d say Rand Paul is the ONLY one there doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing.
Whether “everyone who has to work with him is tired of his antics” or not is irrelevant.
He was sent there to do a job, not to be part of a popularity contest. And he’s doing his job as he sees fit.
We have a chance to repair our Country, and “our” side (with the exception of a few) appears to be a bunch of feckless twits playing games with the enemy.
