"Deficits dont matter [Cheney said]. Well, actually they do"
No debt ceiling increase then no tax cuts again, ever. Rand is dead to me.
He’s running for Schumer job
The mental midget yaps again
Deficits don’t matter in the short term. Deficits can be useful in building infrastructure that is too expensive to do it affordably. However, you can’t do that forever.
He could win about 80% of the time. But he seems to prefer losing 100% of the time.
Rep. Thomas Massie raised similar concerns:
Thomas Massie:
“Who wants to tell them?
By continuing 2024 appropriations into 2025 with a “Continuing Resolution,” Congress just locked in a large portion of the Biden agenda for the first nine months of Trump’s presidency.”

Just get rid of all corporate welfare (John Stossel reported on how huge it was years and years ago, so it’s well over 400 billion a year now.
End the $200 billion a year or so going to “migrants” brought into the US.
Lower military spending by 200-300 billion a year by making Europe defend themselves and not have the US do this so they can shift the money saved to their social welfare programs.
Make Japan, Singapore, Australia, NZ, Taiwan, and other Asian Pacific allies shift more of their spending to military to help the US, saving the US at least amother 100 billion plus.
I’m an old man.
I paid for my social security, medicare, and due to my service my VA coverage, so no cuts to those.
The rest of the government not explicitly expressed in the constitution can go AWAY! Screw the Useless Democrat do nothing voters.
There would be no deposits then and we could pay our debts off in a very short period.

Rand is a Huge Cheap labor express fan .
He is a reliable open borders Rhino vote .He did not stop Mike Lees Indian H 1 Visas
scam law in 2020. You are very pleasant here but He is a fake like the rest .
Don’t fall for his charade.
Let’s give the administration a chance. After all Commerce Secretary Lutnick did say on Feb 26 they are going to pay off the debt in four years and Trump didn’t correct him. I remember watching that statement and was stunned.
Putting hyperbole aside perhaps they will make some progress in that regard. At this point any progress is helpful.
“SECRETARY LUTNICK: ... ... we are going to balance this budget, and we are going to pay off the debt under President Trump.”
Time for goofy to move on.
He’s the most intelligent Senator and must regularly show us that he is (sarc)
Go away Traitor!
Everything is not about you!
Heh Rand, Go F**K yourself.
As someone else said, “Rand, you are dead to me.”
The Trump spending will be larger than the Biden spending, the tax cuts issues are just fights over the scraps of the Republic.
Rand Paul?
Is this the same Rand Paul that is in agreement with Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins? The worst RINO’s in the Senate?
All. Righty. Then.
Why? I get that (per your FR name) you’re a Rand Fan. So am I to some degree.
But he is dead wrong in opposing Trump and aligning with Dems and RINOs.
So why do you keep posting thread after thread showcasing his current failure?
I’d think you’d be better served distancing yourself from Rand for awhile.
Trump will prevail as will America. Rand is on brand again. Compromised?
Giving Congress unchecked authority to blow though $5 trillion will result in great waste.
Congress has more need of a leash than most dogs.
I suggest a $500 billion debt limit increase at a time. That gives an opportunity to throw in reforms at every vote to increase the debt limit.
I thought Graham was able to establish what the floor was to be. So why the deficit?
