Senator Paul is in favor of states loosening guidelines, and re-opening their economies sooner rather than later. He voted against the CARES Act, which includes billions of dollars in federal aid for Kentucky, citing its $2 trillion price tag. “I think it’s one of those things that looks good on the front end, who’s going to turn down a thousand dollars, but we have to think about the unintended or long-term consequences of what this could do to the country,” Sen. Paul said.
