He lost the vote as predicted. One third of GOPers voted AGAINST a balanced budget within 5 years (The now SIX Penny Plan). Rand only needed 51 votes for this as it's a budget resolution (Confirmed in a tweet by him). As you know the GOP control the U.S. Senate.

GOP NAYS :-

Boozman (R-AR)

Capito (R-WV)

Collins (R-ME)

Cotton (R-AR)

Cramer (R-ND)

Graham (R-SC)

Hawley (R-MO)

Justice (R-WV)

McConnell (R-KY)

Mullin (R-OK)

Murkowski (R-AK)

Rounds (R-SD)

Sullivan (R-AK)

Wicker (R-MS)

Young (R-IN)

I know Rand has had some negative comments in recent months but how about these hypocrites?

Hmmm...
Quite frankly, I do not see how it is possible to balance the budget in 5 years...

Unless, of course, I turn 500 million tons of gold over to the government...

I would definitely want a receipt...

I loved me some Ron Paul. Rand Paul? Sure, him, too. But he’s got some lousy sense of timing. We’re battling vicious Communists for control of the future, and he wants to go rouge and put a bunch of GOP Senators on the spot with a budget proposal which isn’t going to pass.

Young really sticks in my craw. i sent him a bunch of money back when he was running under the tea party banner.

what a horrific mistake it was to support him.

There is a village in Oklahoma missing an idiot. Unfortunately it is common there.

“Government incompetence, on full display.”

It’s not incompetence. They simply don’t care.

Rand Pail is a petulant child who thinks he knows a lot about everything.

I’d like to hear their excuses... if they are not so special they won’t give one.

Don’t want to balance the budget? Why? No money in it?

I’ve said for a couple decades that being a fiscal conservative, no one in the Democrat Party represents me, and maybe half of the Republicans do. If I’m lucky.

Srill no mention of ending the use of baseline budgeting.

Note to Sen. Paul,: Talk is cheap.

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan was a great idea
