@RandPaul
Throughout the Vote-a-rama, I was working all night to stop Congress from adding to our debt.
I met with @VP and I reiterated my offer to vote for the bill—if it included a 90% reduction in the debt ceiling.
No earmarks. No handouts. Just real fiscal reform.
I wasn’t looking for favors. I wasn’t horse-trading. I was fighting for the American people and against our out-of-control debt.
Bottom line: I offered my vote for fiscal sanity. Congress chose to sell out taxpayers instead. Only once the bill is released, we will know what the true price was.

Rand’s toast. A lone wolf, not a MAGA team player.

Rand is absolutely right but here is the problem..ANY bill that he would make it would not pass, what he wants is what most logical people want but the DC swamp is the DC swamp it wouldnt stand a chance. Heck look at Murkowski, she got what she wanted so she voted yes, she got bought off

The next thousand plus page abortion that they spend weeks going back and forth over. Maybe smaller bills next time?
To: RandFan
If Trump doesn’t pivot to addressing the deficit, and fast, Rand will be the last one laughing. And not in the distant future.
To: RandFan
Spending is so out of control. Once people get their hands on “free money”, they kick, scream and yell about losing it. And of course they have 100 reasons why it’s “unethical”, “immoral”, etc. to take the handouts away.

I’m seriously tired of how irresponsible Congress has become.
They need a major overhaul in how they do business. These massive, all inclusive, legislative packages have to stop.
However, I don’t expect to see that or a balanced budget in my remaining lifetime.

You’re absolutely right. That’s how the DC club rolls.

“””Throughout the Vote-a-rama, I was working all night to stop Congress from adding to our debt. “””
So he voted for a massive tax increase along with his fellow democrats instead.

> Rand’s toast. A lone wolf, not a MAGA team player.
But does absolutely out of control spending MAGA?

"Rand’s toast. A lone wolf, not a MAGA team player."
He's turned into John McCain. Nobody else to blame but himself.

It’s up to We the People to rid Congress swamp people.
POTUS47 presented a clean bill. The Senate altered it. Better than nothing.

He knows that, he just likes to hear himself talk in front of a camera.

Like a petulent child, scowling with his arms crossed, little big man rand paul said he was going to vote no, unless he got what he wanted....
So, after meeting with Trump while golfing saturday, and JD today, grand standing rand still wouldn’t budge, because he thought he would be king, and get everyone else to bow down before him and cut the debt celing for his vote....
I hope rand paul just changes party and admit he sides with the democrats already.... he does more to oppose Trump, than he did against the left
To: stars & stripes forever
Trump will do what Rand and others want provided the midterms go heavy Conservative Republican. Until then, he has to play a political game with the RINOs in power.

Well, thank heavens for Rand Paul. His vote now has saved America. Never mind that he voted for a 60% increase in my taxes by his so-called sensible vote.(sarc).
