Have they not heard of Zimbabwe?
Compare Madoff's puny multi-million ponzi with a 14 Trillion PONZI scheme. Plus, the bulk of the civilized world is in even worse shape. Armageddon.
Now, toss in a few more major earthquakes, and continued war in the mideast...sigh.
I’m not ready to anoint Rand Paul as the next Republican presidential candidate (and I probably won’t ever be) but at least he’s laying out a basis for getting the federal budget under control. Cutting these 4 federal agencies may not happen - yet - but we have to have someone besides posters on FR making these statements and a Republican U.S. senator is exactly who should be doing so. I assume Senators Paul’s proposals will receive a lot of media coverage, which is good, although the leftmedia will, naturally, be apoplectic and act as if he wants to kill puppies but they’ll do that right until the moment the U.S. goes into bankruptcy so why not at least, start the debate? Senator Paul has done that. Kudos to him.
He left out the EPA, Agraculture, and a host of others that should be eliminated along with all that work for them!
Rand Paul is BY FAR & MILES the best political donation I ever made.
He and Rubio rock!
I like.
COMMON SENSE! I’ll be damned.
We need at least 67 Rand Pauls.
Do it!
The man is a genius. Draft him for president yesterday. Or at least Vice President.
I applaud the effort, but any plan that claims to balance the budget without touching military or non-discretionary spending is most likely smoke and mirrors.
Failure to deal with S.S., Medicare and Medicaid in the context of keeping the US solvent is akin to rearranging to deck chairs on the Titanic. Let me know when he's got a proposal to handle those poniz schemes.
