"You Can't Make This Stuff Up": Rand Paul Continues Listing Wasteful Government Spending

@Paul 6:23

@Paul Not with RINOs. Hardcore Republicans also don't trust him because he's actually Libertarian more than he is Conservative.

@Paul Yea not so much.

its a 1 party system most people just don't get it.

@Steven Belzer To quote another poster: The greatest American President that never was but should have been...Ron Paul.

He does this every year, dog and pony show and nothing ever changes!

@@magaranita Hey that's my line 😂well saying it about his dad for years and then his son. Only "starting to like" tho. Sharpen up America. You have some great leaders you never use. Love and respect from Ireland. Can we have Rand Paul please If your not using him🙏 pleaseeeeeee.. badly needed

The Greatest American Statesman to ever live -- Dr. Ron Paul of Texas! ♥️🇺🇸💙 Dr. Rand Paul has learned well! ♥️🇺🇸💙

He gets a minimum 174000 a year and for how many years?

@@garynorthtruro I dont know the exact amount he got when he was in Congress, what I do know is that he returned his full salary to the treasury..so yea your "gotcha" comment has just been flushed down the toilet

Nope… another Q’Annon myth….

It is what gets them the name liberal. Liberal with my money. Or as Newt Gingrich recently said, "they like putting the charges on your credit card", the national debt.

@Lucent. Rayne Oh I'm here. My perspective is broad. Of which you a part.

No wonder everyone loves Dementia Joe...

Very true, now incoming bots to attack you.

I have a better question if you offer to fund these studies or if you don't give this agency a raise of 29 billion more dollars and instead end homelessness in america for 600000 people with 9 billion to spare. You can end homelessness for 600,000 people and keep this terrible agency while just not giving them a raise.

Amen

RAND PAUL 2024

Nope, you have to qualify it with a study, some form of accredited class so universities get the windfall, you know.. be as shady as possible so folks don’t ask questions. At the end, you have to determine that there is no determination to be made without another grant.

Can we get an AMEN? 😁

Odds are high Rand is distorting the cost of the study. He does that kind of thing all the time.

And I want 2 million to watch you get handed that money to do an extensive study on the look you get when handed the money😜

So sick of our government!! I live on a budget and they spend MY money on WHATEVER they want!!! REALLY?!?!

He’s been attacked MULTIPLE times. Tyrants haven’t gotten him yet!

These ngo's and non profits, teachers unions, end up contributing to the DNC. So its also a way to get campaign donations from taxpayers. RNC also have their connections. Some of it goes to their pockets like you said, thats how they get rich. Talk about wealth distribution, what about the bailouts to large companies, nobody bails out small business, which as you saw during the pandemic, actually fuels the economy. Big business was open and making more money than ever as our economy dropped while small business was closed. Things are getting better, even if artificially, now that small business is open mostly.

@@hleedina5567 yes, this is called money laundering, even though that's generally a process used by criminals to turn money from criminal activities into legit money. This money is obtained by skirting the limits of legality, but it undertakes a similar process whereby it ends up in the pockets of those distributing, after paying some tolls, by indirect means. If the FBI was truly independant you'd be seeing RICO investigations flying left and right, up and down...

Goodone

@@stevedewey4059 No but we can correlate our research and work together to solve this issue,When the results of my study on the profits from studying studies is complete, you will do a study to see if the profits from studying studies can be used to more then the advantage of the studier.Im sure thats gotta cost at least 3.5 million, which you will have to round up to 4 million as well.Then we will combine our accumulated talents, buy a couple condos on the beach and study the effects of study profits on local passers by.That study would be very time consuming and exhaustive and most likely we would need the proper materials which dont come cheap.100 million apiece and we will have conclusions that cannot be disputed and will be a very interesting read in any scientific journal.And who knows, we could see a couple good looking women with very dark glasses on that have sticks in their hands to find their way around, and pull at least a few million more apiece on a double blind study.👍

@@davidv872 Right on.

@@stevedewey4059 As part of my hypothesis, im guessing our results will be soo substantial that Rand Paul will quit his job, move in next door and together we can solve the secrets of the universe.With the studies he mentioned on this video, you have to admit, the ones ive pitched would be a great additive to this video.And with how ridiculous the rest are, im pretty sure we could pull it off.God bless America!

Well you pay taxes so you can have a functioning society the only issue is people vote for these pieces of garbage who take advantage because they believe everything they are told. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what kind of society you go for greed and power will always be at the top. There will always be few who gain the majority of the resources

If the Fed prints money for the govt, why do I have to pay taxes?

@@gpintado12 The Federal Reserve (which is neither part of the Federal Government, nor is there any reserve) creates money out of thin air and lends it to government to the tune of trillions every year. Taxes have been reduced to nothing more than a way to punish the Middle Class for not being lap-dogs of the Elites. We have been transformed into DEBT SLAVES to the International Banking Cartel.

I'm going to start my own study and deduct that from my taxes.

@@techshabby0001 as in, they led the way ?

Uh the pressurized pen is actually a very useful tool, can write at any angle with self contained fine ink that can better mark than a pencil. It also works at high elevation, and underwater. Personally I wouldn't want to be floating around in zero G with particles of graphite and wood being breathed in.

Who is responsible for? Who votes for these spending?

Can we please have some proof of this? For example name of the researcher, where the research was carried out, name and date of the final report, who published it. Otherwise, this is just a load of old fanny, a fairy story, and I’m too old for fairy stories. Of course it could just be a lie.

I hope they replicated the study to be certain

You think that's bad pull up the US debt clock you're never going to hear these Republicans talk about this because they are part of the establishment. All you have to do is look at currency and derivatives $621 trillion dollar debt nobody's talking about it. Sure you can go find information about it but you're not going to hear Republicans or democrats talk about this because all of Wall Street created this debt for us to pay. We're going through the same two party paradigm once again the Republicans are talking their game acting like the good cop the Democrats are playing the bad cop and in the end they're going to dupe the American people once again. You're going to cast your votes and the swamp is going to continue because they're smarter than us. Everything is just one big dog and pony show. That's why nobody goes to jail that's why nobody's getting impeached. That's why they are allowing an experimental vaccine to be blackmailed on the people when it is a direct violation of the Nuremberg code that prevents any country on the planet from being able to make someone take an experimental treatment and now we have vaccine passports which is beyond illegal nobody's doing anything about it they're letting the states get away with whatever they want and that's how this is going to end everybody's going to be force-fed propaganda from the left and the right they're going to destroy this country and we're going to go into a civil war.

@Cam Brady The trump tax cut put us 28 trillion in debt? nope. guess again. Obamacare was what really started the massive deficit. It's become normal to spend more than we take in. Our dollar will be worth nothing pretty soon.

Requirements... Do you own a bat? Not just any bat but one that's magic. Would you forsake your country for bat money? If you answered yes to all ,,, congrats ... Your money is on its way... Sick world no doubt.

That's right so repeal the tax cuts to corporations that put us in huge debt. Corporations do not need welfare on the back of American citizens. Trump raised the debt by $10 trillion.

i just read biden has a 6 trillion budget proposal

I always wonder about the debt- do they ever pay it? Is it monthly payments like a credit card? A budget would totally help them with reality! I can’t even imagine the amount of money that it’s so unrealistic to me!

@@rosierosebud7361 Doesn't mean it's bad. It looks good on paper (free child care, big spending on infrastructure), but the devil is in the details.

@@jflow5601 lets take back the $530 million given to planned parenthood and cut NASA's almost $8 billion in half!

The corrupt politicians who draft these bills probably have someone else write them, and have them make up and hide the most nonsensical things so it requires no research, no one looks into it, and it costs the most. When all that money goes to a "pretend cause," it is easier to preserve the full amount of the funding, which goes directly from the institute back to the politicians in the form of kick-backs, and "campaign donations." And that's where the theft of our taxpayer dollar really occurs.

@@bentonrp OK, so you have actual evidence?

@@garynorthtruro I said probably. And I didn't name any politicians specifically. But when a billion dollars goes missing, and a billion dollars turns up here instead... it just might be the same billion dollars that went missing. If there's proof that Joe Biden admitted to bribing Ukraine to fire their Chief Investigator before he could finish looking into Hunter Biden's firm there, and they completed That bribe with taxpayer money, and if there's evidence that Hunter messaged to give 10% of the Burisma firm's multi-million dollar payout to "The Big Guy," only the most dubiously blind people would hold no doubt about how the highest politicians operate the tax revenue.

EXACTLY CORRECT !!!

@@bentonrp Where is the statement "a billion dollars missing"? Why would anyone bribe with a billion dollars? First and foremost it has to have a source.

"AMEN"

When they had the chance in the Bush an Reagan administrations the Republicans as rush said, snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory. Now that the government has been taken over by George Soros we may never have a chance to regain control of the republic . They are all animated now that they are powerless, but sat on their hands when they were in charge. There are no democrats or Republicans. THERE ARE ONLY THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS. nobody government deserves any of our support.

I heard it mainly funded jerrery Epstein.

Cyber Polygon, 7/9/2021 Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), repeatedly mentions that there’s an incoming “cyber pandemic” which will have a worse impact than covid. The WEF is the same organization that teamed up with John’s Hopkins and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to run a coronavirus pandemic simulation in October 2019, one month before the outbreak began in Wuhan (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AoLw-Q8X174.html ). The cyber pandemic will likely take place shortly after their simulation (Cyber Polygon), similar to covid in regards to the Event 201 simulation. The power grid will be disabled and digital financial assets will be inaccessible during this time. The WEF & other transnational globalist NGOs are trying to intentionally collapse the western world and create a global government. These globalist elites, who nobody voted in, meet behind closed doors to make long-term decisions for the entire world without your say. They have more capital than you could possibly imagine and they’ve already compromised politicians and infiltrated various federal agencies in the western world to destroy us from the inside out. This is what’s commonly referred to as “the deep state”. Resist tyranny from government officials & become self-sustaining. The Great Reset is here..

That's virtually impossible because neither side is on board with it. The last balanced budget by any President was submitted by Democrat Bill Clinton; the Congress of the United States simply ignored it, and both Republicans and Democrats were guilty of that. "Money is power," as a wise man once said, and restricting our Congress to a "balanced budget" restricts those politician's power in ways they refuse to countenance.

I believe the toilet is also a diagnostic device, using camera and other features to monitor a patient. This saves on nursing costs.

@@toddboothbee1361 doesn't matter. Why is the government making this toilet? I'm not saying capitalism is perfect (always better then socialism) but the free market would develop this device faster and cheaper if it was actually needed in the first place. Its not the governments place or right to do so with borrowed money.

​@@jerimiahstephens8580 Corporations aren't willing to risk their money for much R&D, which is why the government and the subsidized university programs are the few willing to do the research for laughably little money. It's not easy getting grants for such work. Corporations do proliferation work, marketing and manufacturing the tech for profit. This is the trend most of the time. The toilet, I believe, is the diagnostic device used to monitor texture and chemical composition of crap and/or urine of the patient. (Waste seems to have important medical and biological info in it.) It would save on nursing and other costs, once it is deployed. I don't think socialism is a choice or a danger in this country, though the whacko far left might dream of it. The European style socialized medicine (safety nets, etc) is not a threat to capitalism. I've yet to meet a Democrat billionaire (I've only met three, all Democrats) who was real thrilled about communism or socialism. Same goes for countries like Norway--capitalists to the teeth. But where that system falls short (as with basic research and with unfortunate), Norway tweeks it in such a way that it benefits everyone, even from the perspective of capitalism. It's not a religion. At least, I don't think it is.
