We get an actual Libertarian President, and Rand Paul becomes a major obstructionist, teaming with Democrats and the worst RINOs.

I agree with Rand, but he’s being an idiot about this. The path to eliminating tariffs lies through confronting other nations with their hypocrisy and forcing them to drop their own tariffs. Not us eliminating tariffs and then letting the rest of the world take advantage of us endlessly. That’s not free trade.

You gotta love, the only time Republicans in Congress can get anything done, is when they’re attacking Trump.

You think that someone so concerned about the deficit, like Rand, would love the revenue that tariffs generate.

Contact: Press_Paul@paul.senate.gov, 202-224-4343 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced his “Six Penny Plan” federal budget that will balance within five years.

The Founding Fathers “so feared the power of taxation that they gave it only to Congress.”

If the little pimple from KY ever read the USC he's see the tariff ( called a duty ) is IN the Constitution!!1

well, the opposite of the tariff “taxation” is the depletion of domestic assets benefitting the foreign economy

Rand is spewing typical Libertarian idiocy

Conservatives must be on guard because Librarians are not nationalists and not patriots. Some of their position align with conservatism but they are a different beast altogether. Most of the L’s I know are dope smoking loons.

WATCH: White House officials just released a lecture on why the tariffs are a game changer. Stephen Miller really understands it.

And be sure to read the comments on the thread.
