Paul's spokeswoman, Rachel Mills, said the congressman is aware that his district ranks high as a recipient of federal dollars.
She said Paul will continue to support federal grants to the district,"as long as taxes are taken by force from the people of Texas."
She added, "While Congressman Paul strongly believes that federal spending is out of control, the government has made promises to people in the form of Medicare and Social Security that many rely on, and it would be wrong to break those promises."

Such a rationalizer, that Ron Paul. I'm sure Trent Lott says the exact same thing. But at least Trent Lott doesn't pretend to be a principled small-government federalist.
And I’m sure we are only talking about Medicaire and SS bennies. ROFL.
