Sen. Rand Paul: "The United States should not be the sugar daddy for the entire world"
X ^ | Feb 13 | Sen. Rand Paul

Posted on 02/13/2025 11:50:41 AM PST by RandFan

@RandPaul

Today, we dove into the reckless and wasteful spending of our federal government. The United States should not be the sugar daddy for the entire world, especially not for countries and organizations who act contrary to our nations’ beliefs.

He left out an important word.

Should not CONTINUE to be

However, he is pretending just like a good GOP senator

The entire world is not receiving this funding

It is primarily our politicians

Honestly. No one watches the Phil Hartman Clinton parody Read between the lines of THAT one. Clinton’s daughter received 57 million on its way to Haiti

Nor the Clinton Foundation, 500,000 other NFP’s, or NGO’s with the sole purpose of kickback laundering, while virtue signaling with a media also benefitting as their PR agencies for hire to shape the news.

Rand Paul is just controlled opposition to give legitimacy to the whole sham. He assumed that role with good intentions, still has them, but compromise entered his life on these matters like slow cooking the frog.

He’s right..we have veterans who have given their entire lives to protect US living on the streets in cardboard boxes meanwhile we give BILLIONS of dollars in foreign aid which doesn’t even help those in need, the money gets funneled back in NGO’s to Democrats that is why they are b*tching about the money

Yeah we know. That’s why we voted for Trump. Rand likes to play pretend as if he is somehow directing this or has anything at all to do it which he of course does not. Rand didn’t even endorse Trump for President. This is all Trump and Elon, no thanks to Rand and his ilk of speechifiers in Congress.

Rand has been trying to cut spending for 14 years - every year he introduces a budget that balances within a few years and it loses.

I dont know if he can do any more. He is one senator.

Rand’s only purpose is to block Trump’s revolution citing “conservative”or “libertarian” principles or whatever. It all puts a big smile on Mitch McConnell’s face.

And so much of it is spent on overhead and graft without even getting to the ones supposedly it is designed to help.

"Sen. Rand Paul: "The United States should not be the sugar daddy for the entire Socialist, Marxists, Leftist world"

Fine tuned it a bit.

And Rand (along with all feckless GOP) voted for all of this crap with CRs and Omnibus bills.

Welcome to the party pal.

I am beginning reluctantly to get that impression of Rand—he has served a function, surely, and is one of the higher profile Republicans, but put him alongside the likes of Kash, Hegseth, RFK, even Tulsi, not to mention several others who seem to have a killer instinct Rand lacks, and we see why he still seems to be operating “independently” and doesn’t seem to have an essential function within the Trump Administration.

Yes! Like so many of the moderates, bordering on RINOs, he (once again!) touches on all the timeworn, tedious, and at this point TIRESOME cliches,while also MISSING the most important feature which is the SELF DEALING and money laundering going on-—there’s really nothing too subtle about it.....it’s just an area he doesn’t want to get into. BUT it is the most damaging to our corrupt politicians. And really volatile for anyone who brings it to the fore.
