During debate on the Senate floor, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) rose in opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and warned of its impact on the national deficit.

Then you don’t know any of the 913,326 people who voted for him, giving him a 61.8% of the electorate. He reps his constituents, not FR. Substantively, he isn’t wrong: there isn’t enough cuts in this bill.
But no one cares.
I’m tired of hearing from Rand Paul and his ego.
I voted for Trump. Every time I could.
In this instance, this big BIG beautiful bill is indeed too big. Rand is right.
It’s crazy how many FReepers seem to be so pro-Trump that they’re supporting something that’s a financial threat to America.
Yes, thank you
Wonder why Massie and Paul weren’t on national TV when Joe spent Trillions every year?
They don’t oppose DC Spending, they oppose rocking the Uniparty Boat.
Each of them run a scam.
We didn’t get into this in a year.
We are not going to get out of it in a year, either.
We’ve had 4 stolen years in this nation due to a stolen election and millions of Trump’s voters do care..
They don’t care about Senators who were witness to the ‘they spied on my campaign’. ‘two hoax impeachments’, the Wuhan Coup Flu, the stolen election, the invasion, the just us lawfare, the raid, the assassination attempts, the just us injunctions and delays of a Mandated agenda, given to Trump with an extra FAFO stick attached to it, because of everything that’s happened previously since he came down the escalator in 2015.
If Kentucky reps think this 4 years is somehow the time to FA after the last 10 years this govt FA with the guy in the Oval Office, they are within their rights to be Chuck Schumer butt buddies.
But MAGA isn’t going to like them very much.
Being fiscally conservative is hardly being butt-buddies with Chuck. You are rattling off things that have nothing to do with cutting the budget.
Can someone tell me why Trump is putting out a bill that is going to increase the deficit 3 trillion? I know there’s a catch right?
Well said!
The slugs in the House of Representative put this ‘big beautiful bill’ together ... where was the drama queen Massie when the package was put together.
What is twisted is the Kentucky representatives LOVED Joey the godfather Biden's actions from Congress and voted for whatever they were presented ... but now they are showing their nakedness as if they are above the rest.
Kentucky is NOT MAGA ... they only care about their horse races, white lightning , and corvettes ... dumber than any blue state in the Union.
So we can put you down as anti-Trump?
The idiot does not realize that the debt amount is irrelevant. It is the debt-to-GDP ratio that is important. A debt-to-GDP ratio of 60% is ideal. When the economy grows quickly and inflation remains low, along with the spending cuts in the bill, the nation is in great shape.
There are very few on this site with a debt-to-income ratio of less than 60%. Most of us have car payments (maybe boat payments), house payments (rent counts because it is a fixed monthly cost), medication, credit cards, insurance, and countless other expenses. You can get a loan of up to 50% (excluding the incidentals I mentioned) and still be the perfect borrower.
Trump is expected to grow the economy and generate hundreds of billions in additional revenue, in part due to tariffs. this ratio will drop to safe levels quickly.
Rand Paul is a ass. Where is his ideal bill? At this point its just him grandstanding.
To all those supporting him or complaining about the bill, reality check: this is the best bill you will get from this congress.
He reps no one in KY. They hate him. He ran in 22 against a black guy who was working at Office of Faith-Based Initiatives and Community Involvement and worked for Bernie Sanders. In F**ing Kentucky mind you.
So you think Rand had a big win? He is a manchild with a huge ego and a bad haircut.
Jack Hibbs (Calvary Chapel Chino) took a swing at this godless jackass in his sermon yesterday. Not by name, but it was clear who he was referring to when he labeled the culprit “libtard”.
I rattled off things that have happened to this President by your Govt.
Things that still haven’t been dealt with justice in mind, even in the august Swamp body of the Senate..
Rand can absolutely stand with traitor Schiff and Chuck Schumer against Trump on issues, but being clumped with Swamp scum like that won’t make him look less like a Liz Cheney type.
He should vote for the BBB anyway because it’s an overall step in the right direction and the overspending can be v
fixed seperately.
Warned of its impact on the national deficit.
And what will be the problems if it doesn’t pass your cure is what?.
Rand Paul sucks. Tried to war people here a long time ago and now here we are.
