I believe he votes against all this sort of nonsense.....in all likelihood, it cost $10,000 to $50,000 for the government of the USA to tell the government of Austraila they're nice friends! Multiply this sort of nonsense out over an entire session of Congress, and one can see what the costs are......

Amazingly, he is the only one who doesn't believe in all this 'touchy-feely' PC BS.

Notice how people complain when Congress takes a vacation? Hell, they could take 11 months off a year and it'd suit me just fine.

,,, bad timing Mr Paul.

Run a cost benefit analysis using these variables...

Try ---> recent payment of back dues from the US to the UN over the projected return,

vs: Aussie's committment to the anti-Terrorism thrust and long running co-operation under ANZUS.

Aussie is quite a pro-US country. The estimated $10 - 50,000 should come out of Ron's salary!
