SEN. RAND PAUL in Iowa criticizing House GOP budget

X ^ | May 29 | Rand Paul

@RandPaul

I’m all for making Trump’s tax cuts permanent, but not if we keep spending like drunken sailors. The House GOP budget doesn’t go nearly far enough. We need real cuts, real reform, and real courage to fix this debt crisis.

[RandFan]

He's in Iowa saying this (I can't post their local rag the Des Moines Register)..

Highly interesting...

[escapefromboston]

Congress controls the purse strings so maybe they should do something about it

[LouAvul]

Wish you’d quit pimping for that clown. This isn’t a liberTARDian forum. Don’t you people have one of your own?

[JayGalt]

It would be more interesting if there was actually a budget bill. He is as usual just manipulating facts to forge a soapbox to stand on.

[Zathras]

Last time I checked, Rand Paul represents Kentucky.
There is only ONE reason he is in Iowa.
Ted Cruz made the same mistake.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Of course he is.

[RandFan]

Rand is a GOP senator in good standing

I’m all for making Trump’s tax cuts permanent, but not

The use of "but" invalidates the previous clause. He has no chance as a Republican since he too frequently votes with the Democrats.

[RandFan]

Frequent? less than 5% probably of the time

[silent majority rising]

Then what does Paul offer for a solution? Does he have any suggestions other than ‘everyone must agree with me?’

[RandFan]

Rand to ride the crest of a wave to the presidency to fix the mess?

[McGavin999]

Why is he in Iowa instead of in DC working on thee bill?

[JayGalt]

Please enumerate the accomplishments he is running on?

[jjotto]

Might be able to hear him live soon:

Will rand paul attack himself for saying he won't vote for Trump's budget bill unless rand gets what he wants....

but doesn't want to have any cuts to his own pork...

Of course not....

so rand will end up siding with the leftist and GOPe rinos, so the republicans will lose the house and senate at the midterms...

because it's so much easier for the rinos to be the minority party, so they don't have to do anything except slip in their own pork into c.r's

[PubliusMM]

Tax reform without spending reform is a fool’s game; always has been; and always will be.

[RandFan]

Thx for links!

[RandFan]

His record is impeccable.

[McCarthysGhost]

If Trump fails to turn America around we will either become a communist authoritarian 3rd world country or have a domestic war. One or the other. 2028 will not matter and even if Rand somehow manages to be the republican nominee for President in 2028, which he absolutely has zero chance of doing, it won’t matter.
