Fuck Rand Paul.
Yeap, hes definitely seems like the idiot of the Paul's - I miss hearing from his dad instead of his stupid self.
While to be honest I stand by the general message of saying "Okay, if were moving funds to this where are we getting it from?" - the problem is that you had better be consistent with that instead of selectively saying it for certain things you don't want.
His principles appeared to be on vacation when he voted for the tax cuts that every projection said would explode the deficit, which has since some to pass.
Nobody should entertain him as genuinely worried about government debt.
To be fair - between my last post and this one I watched the video.... In the video he explains that he did actually put a provision in the tax bill that stated everything had to be offset with spending cuts... but that in a subsequent separate bill (that he didn't vote for) the majority of the senate 90+ (so bi-partisan - him being one that voted against it) removed his provision from the tax bill. I'm too lazy to look up the validity of that, but still I guess it's worth mentioning.
No idea if he has consistently kept up that same message over all the bills he has voted for.
Yes because his typical MO when it comes to anything is feign concern for the impact on deficits but vote right along with anyone else if it's a GOP initiative. That anyone still falls for it and views him as a true fiscal conservative is absurd. He's fiscal for show.I can't watch the video at work, so it's entirely possible that I'm missing nuances - but he *did* vote yea in the final senate vote for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:

He's less of a propaganda tool than Fox "News" is for exampleAs much as I agreed with Jon Stewart on this issue...he's still just a comedian. Unfortunately people get their news from him.

The host tried to ask him several times if he voted for the final bill. Rand deflected several times and finally claimed Laffer was right because revenues went up. What a joke of a human being, and conservatives and libertarians are too stupid to see through the bullshit.This was playing on a TV I was watching.
He's all crying and butthurt about being called out, then had some terrible excuses and stories how he's actually consistent in his opposition to spending and deficits.
It was completely laughable and easily disproven, but of course the Fox host barely pressed him and allowed him to continue his whining and denials.
The host did at least mention the deficit will hit a $$$$Trillion$$$$ this year, but Rand mostly gave that a hummmana hummuna routine.
What a scum bag from a state of moochers.

How many years have people tried to scare everybody about the deficit? The years, how many decades of politicians tried to scare us about deficit the national debt, the deficit, any number of things. And yet, here we're still here and the great jaws of the deficit have not bitten off our heads and chewed them up and spit them out.

Oh I have no doubt that he will go right back to crowing about the deficit the second a Democrat is back in the WH. His listeners won't care either because they all have memories like goldfish. When confronted with this quote, it will be dismissed as fake news.I mean the other day Rush Limbaugh came straight out and admitted that he and the entire GOP had been lying for our whole lives about actually caring about deficits and debt. And remember, Rush literally knows large numbers of these guys!
We always knew they were lying but it's kind of amazing that one of their biggest mouthpieces felt so confident in the strength of partisanship that he could simply admit to his audience that he and all Republican politicians had been lying to them for years.
Rush Limbaugh. Rush Fucking Limbaugh, the guy who spent years trying to scare everyone about the deficit, wants you to know that people trying to scare you about the deficit were all liars.
I am sorry he knows his amendment would have no practical value. It was just grand standing bullshit.

Why single out just the repubs? Dems are guilty of it as well. But they do appreciate your focus on the repubs, only.
Jon Stewart's face as Mitch McConnell walks by him is priceless
And the show went to complete shit after which.
You left out that part
