WATCH: Rand Paul Slams Deficit Spending, Dismisses Spending Bill As 'A Porkfest Of Epic Proportions' 

Yeah, his voter turnout didn't reflect that.

Great point, especially considering the fact that our elections are 100% absolutely positively free and fair!

Even so he's saying the truth, who is listening since it's not presented by them for the TV reward. Joe Biden will make $1,60000.00 for doing NOTHING in (4 years). ERROR: he caused the destruction of America with all sort of illogical agenda impose on American people.

Congress needs a big cut in pay. They haven't updated social security in over 50 years, and they think nothing of it. If they all were at minimum wage, maybe something would get done.

That is the correct word usage. Getting back money you contributed is an entitlement.

Social Security funds cannot be used for anything other than Social security.

@@catherinewilliams9680 That is false. There is no magical bank account within which social security-collected taxes sits and waits to be doled out specifically just for social security. All collected federal taxes go in to the coffers and then gets spent on whatever. Social security payouts are measured to a specific amount so that the government never loses money on it. They absolutely do spend "social security money" on things other than social security and have been accused of it numerous times before it became popular to just borrow ungodly amounts of money and cause mass inflation instead of "borrowing the money from other programs". Though this is how it was in the pre-Obama era. Since the Obama era though, it's become popular among demcorats to just have the government print money, effectively hitting everyone with a nasty shadow tax in the form of inflation. So currently, due to wild, reckless spending on marxist policies which do not help the country, the "effective federal tax rate' on the people (combining the huge inflation spikes with our normal tax rate), has practically tripled under Biden. But he can hide it from being overt by borrowing trillions of dollars and ruining the dollar value instead of just outright saying he's going to triple federal taxes because while both things result in the exact same amount of buying power lost (with one being even worse because it's practically irreversible), one of them would be so incredibly unpopular that his impeachment would be demanded by even democrats, and the other is met with a shrug despite being much worse (the borrowing/inflation route).

Oh yes, they can spend the Social Security funds. It's called borrowing at 0% interest. And none of them pay into Social Security or Medicare. 😐

The only thing that is expected from you citizen, tax payment. The rest go to the illegal migrant.

he has been doing this for 20 years , every year he rolls it all out and gives them the what for ! this is but a small taste of R.Paul does for our country

He's been around a while. He ran for president. People chose to fight for the 2 least qualified.

Amen!

😊

Look what he makes a year

@@allenkidd6491 do I wanna 😂

@@allenkidd6491 how much?

All the pork barrel policies have to be strictly banned in order to preserve the impact and effectiveness of the desired bill….

So true! Well said!👍

The government has destroyed our nation, spending like drunkin sailors, they think nothing of it. In fact, they'll blame it on us.

How much do you get paid to type all of this

Ask Google they will tell you who voted for what, especially the senators and congressmen you vote for.

Cant stand the nosey heavy handed googs. Ill find a different way.​@@simpleman3507

They are the ones the media praises for bi partisanship or being moderate.

Do you know what are also earmarks? Roads, bridges, sea and air ports.

@@catherinewilliams9680 Yeah, the politician's brother/cousin/donor needs a contract for their construction business.

Like his father?! What a different world we could have had.

RFK is running. RFK all the way.

I suppose if they don't care to work when they can they probably could care less about what RP or anything that affects their country

This isn't educating us, this providing us a biased view of reality. Corporations and billionaires don't pay as much in taxes as the average worker. Tax cuts don't balance budgets either. The overwhelming majority of our budget is healthcare for the poor and elderly, defense, and interest. Discretionary sending is less than 27%.

And we're feeling it more and more every single year

Right! They have beat us up more than the former generation out there. Work harder and harder doing more and more work for less money. We are falling apart! The health of the people is declining and that's documented.

We could have a Convention of States to take the spending power away from the Federal government.

@@ddonovan5053 Good idea but it will never happen. I enjoy the benefits the federal government provides but only the good ones. It would be impossible for each state to financially manage the big items on its own. Limiting the feds' control to only managing the necessary services would be ideal. Then let the states handle the rest. 🤔

They really don't know what it's like to live on 300 bucks every month after rent

That's right! IF one earned it (some haven't), it was required that we pay into it to fund the big "investment " so it could grow and allow those who paid a return on their money in retirement

The dollar will crash while inflation soars. That’s what we are looking at coming. It’s going to get very bad for some.

He has money he has no idea what it like to be poor, what it's like to go hunger only eating every other day

Exactly!
