RAND PAUL: "The nation shouldn’t send billions overseas while millions endure such hardships and challenges. Taxpayer money should be prioritized for citizens"

Washington Examiner ^ | Sep 22 | by Christopher Tremoglie, Commentary Writer

Ukraine has received billions of dollars in aid from the United States to help with its war with Russia. Despite this, Democrats in Congress want to send even more to the war-torn country. And they are willing to do so even if it means a government shutdown in this country.

It’s a fiscally irresponsible move and detrimental to the U.S., and it’s precisely why Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) declared he would not support any more aid to Ukraine....

[RandFan]

I suspect he doesn't just mean to Ukraine either ! 😂

[Right Brother]

Unfortunately, Rand is the lone voice crying out in the Senate GOP wilderness.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

I don’t blame the corrupt politicians as much as I blame the voters.

The politicians are the addicts. The voters are the enablers.

It’s time for some tough love.

Senator Paul is the only guy in Washington who has ever read the Constitution.

[fieldmarshaldj]

It’s really time to end all foreign aid. For example, I support Israel, but why on earth does a rich country like them need $$ from American taxpayers ?

Wish he would run for president.

Sooo, RP is now with the democrats, prioritizing $welfare$ for advancing urban decay, green energy boondoggles, and medical monopolies?

That's your takeaway?

[Drew68]

I do to but let's be honest, he wouldn't make it far.

"Adhering to the Constitution" is not a popular political position for voters on either side.

[digger48]

That’s what I was saying about Cruz in ‘15

The days of banging the lectern with the Bible and preaching Constitution Constitution Constitution are from days gone by. Simply doesn’t play in the 21st century

Hopefully that attitude will return, but probably not in my lifetime

I'd rather the $100 billion flowing to Europe's most corrupt nation instead be air dropped into every ghetto in America rather than going to Youcrayne. At least then, illegal aliens excluded, it'd be going back into Americans' pockets.

Not one more penny of US taxpayers' money for the little gay-dancing grifter and the kleptocrats, "elites," and US politicians who make bank off of him.

[Angelino97]

No aid to any foreign nation. No exceptions.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Yup.

[hardspunned]

There are many around here who’ve had enough of this America First business.

[joma89]

That money is being laundered right back to criminals in the US called politicians and CEOs.

[MayflowerMadam]

He’s speaking pure logic. Even a kindergartner can understand this concept.
