Paul is the first guy to actually suggest cutting unecessary agencies which is my pet peeve. The ones he picked are my top choices.
YES! He is actually saying “maybe the federal government shouldn’t be doing this at all” which is a concept alien to the rest of them. They mainly just want the same programs as the Democrats, but to not spend quite so much on them.
There's no doubt that what Rand Paul has proposed is a significant and radical break with politics as usual in the Beltway.
It's precisely the sort of bold thinking which is required to pull this nation back from the brink of total ruin.
As I said in an earlier post, we should (and will) use this as a litmus test to see who needs to be fired in 2012, and who needs to keep their job in Congress. Any congress critter who doesn't immediately stand up and support this measure needs to go.
