Rand's budget has the right priorities from what I see.

It replenishes $126 billion to the Defense Department stripped in sequestration and puts an annual cap on foreign aid at $5 billion. The plan also repeals ObamaCare and Dodd Frank.

Excellent, the Defense Department is the one thing the federal government really should be devoting significant resources towards.

Paul’s budget kills four government agencies: the departments of Commerce, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy. It also privatizes the Transportation Security Administration.

Wonderful!

RE: Wonderful!

Unfortunately, anything wonderful does not pass the Senate. This budget went down to defeat 81-18.
