@RandPaul
Fake conservatives agree to fake spending cuts. Deal will increase mandatory spending ~5%, increase military spending ~3%, and maintain current non-military discretionary spending at post-COVID levels. No real cuts to see here.
Conservatives have been sold out once again!

More likely, Paul thinks, based on his past comments, that Trump had the election stolen and that he's fine with letting the real winner run again.
Yup. Not worth the trouble.
This country is not worth the effort anyway. Dead man walking.
The RNC has no leadership other than McConnell and McDaniel and neither have accomplished anything.
The key Republican goal is to keep the Democrats from buying votes and hence elections on a grander scale.
Simply massive Bideninflation is rapidly eating away at the real burden of the debt.
$310,000 buys in 2023 about what $200,000 bought when Trump took office in 2017.
Older people like me are seeing prices going up 10%, 20% and even 50% while my bank wants to pay 4% interest.
This is what you get with professional lawyer politicians calling all the shots. You all get Hoodwinked
Nah - he’d do a great job as Trump’s VP, but he’s more valuable as Senator.
Think Ronald Reagan and the Panama Canal Treaty. He was against the ‘giveaway’. After a thorough discussion in the senate, both sides deliberating it was passed. There was no way Reagan would succumb. The deal was good for us and Latin America. Reagan was running for office. Agreeing would have made him a squish. Sound familiar?
Reagan won in ‘80 and his position didn’t cost him anything.
If you remember the agreement gave us the right to interfere if civil unrest in Panama constituted a threat to it’s operation. Still Reagan wouldn’t budge.
Grant programs need to be pruned.
“Rand Paul just said conservatives have been SOLD OUT once again!”
...as if any other ending were possible with this bunch.
Rand could be very good as Trump’s VP. He brings up ‘teachable’ issues. That would set him up for the POTUS job, maybe even half-way through Trump’s 2nd term. Trump could say “Even I’m getting tired of me” and quit. 2 years to gut the government and 2 years for Rand to explain it in ways Trump can’t. Medical training helps.
Paul and Desantis are the only ones I can think of so far I’d be all in for.
Law enforcement officers, teachers (pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade) firefighters and emergency medical technicians can contribute to community revitalization while becoming homeowners through HUD’s Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program. HUD offers a substantial incentive in the form of a discount of 50% from the list price of the home. In return, an eligible buyer must commit to live in the property for 36 months as his/her principal residence.
How the Program Works
Eligible Single Family homes located in revitalization areas are listed exclusively for sale through the Good Neighbor Next Door Sales program. Properties are available for purchase through the program for seven days.
How to Participate in Good Neighbor Next Door
Check the listings for your state. Follow the instructions to submit your interest in purchasing a specific home. If more than one person submits an offer on a single home a selection will be made by random lottery. You must meet the requirements for a law enforcement officer, teacher, firefighter or emergency medical technician and comply with HUD’s regulations for the program.
HUD requires that you sign a second mortgage and note for the discount amount. No interest or payments are required on this “silent second” provided that you fulfill the three-year occupancy requirement.

This is will be exactly like the Texas House. The Rino’s and the rats join hands and screw us over.
“Is there a First Time Home Buyers Program? YES. Our First Time Home Buyers Program allows buyers the unique opportunity to combine GRANTS and down payment assistance with the other programs we have available, including Fannie Mae’s HomeReady, Freddie Mac’s HomePossible and HomeOne programs. Down payment assistance programs may include state specific programs such as Arizona Home in Five, Georgia Dream, Florida First and others or may include national programs such as Chenoa and Unison, depending on which has the greater benefit. To be eligible, you must be a teacher or school employee, nurse or healthcare worker, law enforcement, firefighter or government employees.”
