RAND PAUL Campaign Ad: "Instead of sending money overseas, that money should be spent here in Kentucky"
twitter ^ | Oct 6 | Sen. Rand Paul

@RandPaul

US Senate candidate, KY

In times of disaster, taxpayer money should be spent to help Americans, like the flood victims in Eastern Kentucky. Instead of sending money overseas, that money should be spent here in Kentucky. I’ll continue to stand with and support our Commonwealth.

He is correct on this. It is a shame all that money is being dumped into the Ukraine. I suspect it is mostly to make certain American politicians more wealthy.

“Rand opposes all foreign aid...”

So do I. There’s not a shred of Constitutional authority for Congress to send US taxpayer money to other countries.

None.

Ask anyone begging with a vet sign of any kind for their VA ID.

Not a one has one. They left it on their dresser is what I hear. LYING CON MEN.

Rand opposes all foreign aid...

I oppose all foreign aid. I also oppose sending tax dollars to Washington to be used in Kentucky. The same goes for Pennsylvania and any other state. Let hard working Americans keep their money and shutter the vast majority of the federal government. The American people are good. They will help other Americans.

Agree. We are 31 trillion in debt and Biden sends billions to Ukraine and others. This clown Yellen appears to me as a fake in even basic econ. She has no idea of what money and banking is, much less macro econ. Ask her what national income accounting is? She is the absolute worse to ever hold her position.

You just need to work a deal with your leadership, just like the dishonorable Manchin did. And just like Manchin vis-a-vis his party’s leadership, you’ll need to watch your back with McConnell who does not abide conservatives ... but you’re already well aware of that very real threat from within, aren’t you, Mr. Paul?

The money, and so much more should be returned to taxpayers, actual taxpayers.

Using a tiny portion of it to fund a campaign to rid us of that avaricious douchebag McConnell would seem a worthwhile investment.

What money? We don’t have money to send either to Kentucky or Ukraine. Our debt is in the trillions. Our deficit is sky high. Every dollar sent to Zelensky is borrowed from China or printed out of thin air by the fed.

If you were in bankruptcy and living on government relief (welfare), would it make sense to take out a second mortgage so you could give money to your neighbors? That’s what US foreign aid amounts to - money borrowed by a beggar to pass along to other panhandlers

Stop all foreign aid and all Ukraine aid, at least while our own finances are in the red

"Rand opposes all foreign aid... "

I mean, doesn't matter what he says when he has a tomato can for an opponent. Booker might be able to run an open-air BBQ stand ("Booker's BBQ", that's the ticket!), that's about it.

Hmm. And where is that dresser? 🤔 I thought homeless meant…homeless.

I’ve read where a lot of those intersection panhandlers are quite well off.

My exact thought when I heard “My dresser.” We have a man who lost his right foot here. He is put in an intersection to a grocery store by a lady who appears to be his wife. Add his dog who gets very little water. These scammers do zip. I hired one who blew my $300 on a cheap motel and food for 3 days. Young men with tattoos under eyes and/or anywhere on face cannot get a job with person-to-person contact.
