It’s not going to take that long and the ones who will get poorer are those on the take. Before the end of his term this country will be back to being financially secure.

I thought Paul had a problem with globalism.
I guess not if he opposes tariffs that result in fair trade deals or border security.

It’s not going to take that long I don't know the future anymore than you do, but when Reagan did his magic with the economy it took pretty much his first term.

Paul is coming off as someone that is never happy unless he's unhappy.
No President in history is cutting back on the size of government like Trump. He's trying to forever wars.
Yet, he's still not happy.

4 years is fine. Actually I think things will turn around faster because Trump is pretty forceful.

What cuts? So far, not enough. 'Budget' will be bigger than the last biden one. Any cuts to 'spending' will be wiped away by the massive cash that will be sent to California for fires.
Without massive cuts to medicaid, medicare, ssi and dod, nothing will be solved.

What cuts? Whatever is being implemented by DOGE and executive branch that sticks.
But, it is the executive branch doing it.
So, Rand Paul sure as hell shouldn't be attacking Trump.
