There are 4 GOP people skittish about this in the US Senate he says and that he's just the most vocal.
Rand says in terms of solutions he's willing to borrow money if they're willing to change habits and REFORM and make real cuts year on year (his Penny Plan budget or along those lines).
Over to you folks.
I can’t blame him on the debt increase. This insanity has to stop at some point.
I realize Rand Paul excites you to the point of climax, but could you possibly learnt to control your trembling fingers to avoid posting the Thoughts And Words of your Beloved Master TWICE? Thanks.
Rand Paul is a darling of CNN and MSNBC - that’s a big clue as to who he really is...
It’s not a debt increase. Stop. It’s an increase on the debt ceiling. Without it we default on our debt and our economy crashes. Rand Paul has been in the Senate for how long? How many bills has he put forth to stop spending? The guy is an economic moron.
Our only way out of this is to grow our way out and ankle biters like him do nothing to help that.
He’s against tariffs too. How does he recommend we keep the economy going and balance the budget? He’s empty! Nothing!
If you cut spending to nothing, it shuts the economy down. You have to spend it in the right areas to get people working and paying taxes. That increases revenue. Trump is good at where to invest our money but I don’t like all the additional military spending.
China and Japan both dumping US Treasuries and nobody wants our 30 year bonds and I can’t blame them. The $37 trillion debt is basically unpayable and it remains to be seen exactly how we intend to handle it. Maybe partially gold backed long term Treasuries? Personally I think we’re screwed so I’m holding my money primarily in precious metals. Europe is in even more dire straits than us which is why they are pushing for war with Russia. Our “deep state” apparently wants war with Russia too otherwise that latest drone attack on Russia’s strategic fleet wouldn’t have happened. Scary times.
He’s on the radio with Eric Erickson now or a recording of him with someone...Makes a lot of sense and Eric is doing a good job of explaining WHY people need to pay attention. His advice, if it doesn’t pass, better get prepared prolonging retirement plans!
This jerk has already been to Iowa. He’s getting on every channel he can, so we will all know who to vote for for president in 2028. Dontchaknow??
If you use different scoring than the CBO uses, you get a different projection of the likely deficit. The CBO does not use a projection that would include economic growth likely to come from the tax provisions in the bill. When better economic growth is considered you get more GDP and with more GDP you get more revenue.
It is not that the debt and deficit should have. long term, even more cuts than what is in the BBB right now. But Rand is using the biased CBO measures as the basis for his objections, when those measures undervalue expected GDP growth. Maybe Rand just wants to object so he stands out. I do not think Kentuckians are more “Libertarian” than everyone else in the country. I think Rand is representing Rand more than he is Kentucky.
The little news out of iowa, showing rand paul opposing Trump on tarrifs, shows few people care about anything he says or does, except if he opposed Trump and his agenda
rand doesn't care what happens to Trump, nor if the republicans lose control at the midterms....
he'll have his safe, senate seat no matter what, so he doesn't care
