I think he was referring to the parasites, not you personally..................
If baseline budgeting is still going on, budget caps are a joke. And Paul knows it.
It’s better to have no budget at all......................
They should be required to do the jobs that Americans don't want to do (and wetbacks are being removed from)
It’d be cheaper.
I dont think they really cared then even. Deficits only matter to the base, and a very few in congress. The bulk of them couldn’t care less. Just this morning Rush was saying he didn’t care about deficits anymore because in his words, nothing bad has happened even though we have all this debt and continued deficient spending...
I think it was the most despicable thing I’ve heard Rush say and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him walk it back tomorrow.
The problem is, if we are really going to allocate $719 billion per year to the Pentagon, there needs to be cutbacks in other parts of the budget to balance things out. Otherwise, the slack has to be picked up with yet more debt. But Congress is not willing to make those kinds of tough choices.
I can see why it wouldn’t much matter to Rush (who I greatly respect). Neither he nor I will have any hand in repaying the debt or suffering the consequences when the piper demands his due. As for my seven small grandchildren it is a different matter altogether.
That’s way too cerebral. You got to bring that down to the current intellectual maturity level. The Republicans are scratchy and the Democrats are itchy.
Bump to that!
Yeah but that won’t stop the big gubmint wing of FR from calling Paul a Losertarian kook or whatever.
He, and his crazier father, have never been military friendly, that I can recall.
The Republicans are Lisa and the Democrats are Bart Simpson......................
The Dems and the Repubs are both salivating over the huge tax revenues that are going to come in from the revived economy.
They don’t want the other to get their hands on it first....................
The Republican party only talks about fiscal sanity when they’re in the minority and don’t have to actually DO anything.
Rand Paul is right.
I also just heard that it eliminates reconciliation and that it has Obamacare “fixes” in it. This is an abomination.
They used to call these bills “Christmas Trees”—but nowadays that is not politically correct. :-)
No, he's not. We could use 99 more just like him.
When Senator Paul is for or against something, you can be assured it is a position supported by the Constitution, a document I often wonder if he's the only elected official in D.C. who has ever bothered reading.
“Rand Paul is right.”
No question about it.
It’s good to hear other ex-military guys recognize it - I was airborne too.
People who think the Pauls are anti-military are not correctly making a distinction between guys like them who certainly do respect the military and phony right wingers who just like the type of foreign entanglements and chest thumping which Jefferson warned us about.
Spending the next generations’ money IS the definition of corruption.
