completely defund all these crooks.
The Whole of the Biden Crime Families business is betraying America!
I am happy to report that I have legally stopped paying federal income taxes in 2019. It is not my fault others keep paying taxes and supporting this GENOCIDE against the PEOPLE. Captain Marbles was here.
Thanks for bringing this idiocy to light Rand. Nobody else seems to care where the money is going and how it's being used.
The real crime is that this is happening in all of our government agencies.
The sad part is that only a few like Rand Paul even care about this garbage.
We the People certainly don't seem to care.
@@thomaswhiddon7638 yep! They keep voting them in. I sometimes think a lot of the electorate are committing slow suicide and they just don't care. Look for the Maui residents to vote in the same kind of people that allowed half their island to burn to the ground with a thousand of innocent citizens.
Wierd!
the timelines are converging, and your savior will soon appear, and her name is Commander Marbles.
@@thomaswhiddon7638 we care the scum politicians don’t care what we think get it, right
We need a lot more republicans following where the money goes
We need a lot more Republicans who aren't where the money goes. We need to get the RINOs out of office.
@@MamaMOBboth parties
@@rudyg9548it’s the exception to the rule on the right, that’s why we call them “rino’s.” It’s the firm rule on the other side and finding one left wing gutter rat who is even pretending they aren’t anti-American marxist thieves.
Does that make all reps saints? Not even close but nobody that I’ve ever heard has ever made that claim. This “it’s both sides” bs helps dems
As well as Democrats and Independents. . .everyone should want to know!
The money goes back to Kentucky. They recieve more than they contributed. Cut wasted funds to Kentucky!
If the government prints more money, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TAXES!?
It's free money for government.
Man after I paid out the nose for taxes all year I still owed Ukraine 4,400
Because their the queen and we’re the little piss ants.
Bingo bingo said the church
@@jonroddy1016 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Taxpayers deserve to know where our money goes!
DHS needs to be disbanded. We don't need them!
imagine a world we would live in if everyone in our government had the integrity and intelligence of Rand Paul.
RP is the only one who consistently points out the crazy useless waste of money congress passes out!
Where's faucinstein?
this means a FINANCIAL CUT TO ISRAEL, TO UKRAINE, TO CORPORATIONS, DISBAND SOME MILITARY INSTILLATIONS, AND TO THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
NOW THAT IS A GOOOOD START.
Proves that they do not use arguments and understand what they are voting on. They are told how to vote by the people who control them.
RP does a lot of talking, but with very little follow-through.
@@hopehenley3002there all talk nothing but talk bla bla bla nothing happens
That secretary is terrible and needs to be in prison.
Its intentionally intentional.
Sounds great paul now lets get rid of the waste and shrink government to where it should be. So much talk and talk and talk.
Are you kidding, doesn't the govt do audits, where's the accountability!
I'd like to know exactly what DHS does. What have they secured? It sure isn't the homeland.
They shifted their scope to targeting, surveiling and controlling american citizens, particularly the ones in political opposition to the regime. Or as they call them 'domestic terrorists"
Rand Paul good one Kentucky lucky to have him
What happened to the four hundred billion dollars that's missing. Paul🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I heard they found life on Mars believe they're going to send it there
Probably went to gain of function research - make COVID. Our government is corrupt.
Love how Rand speaks from his brain instead of reading from a prepared speech.
The corruption in my country is disheartening, very few politicians have our best interests in mind, and Rand Paul is one of them. I wish Congress had more men like him
Thank you, Rand Paul. ♥️
Rand Paul if you can get an answer to "where is the money going," you deserve a special place in heaven.
Where's the money going? Well you all on capitol hill should be able to answer that question....its your job. Its time to tighten the belt. The DOD has never passed an audit not even a spot audit yet they keep raising the budget. No one is holding any of these agencies accountable, they nust get in hearings and talk.
I hear more and more people at the grocery stores complaining about the inflation and not being able to cover their bills.
Inflation is caused by mostly by greedy right wing CEO's, not rocket science.
3rd world administration brings 3rd world circumstances.
Another tax break for the rich will fix all this.
And the Packaging, containers getting smaller! LOL
Don't worry, Biden will make an announcement his administration will solve
high grocery prices, 2 weeks later... no groceries
The money is going into their pockets..
Rand Paul, MAGA
Every government agency should be held accountable for every penny they get and spend.
Right!
I’m curious as to why their budget doesn’t grow at 2% like inflation
The Government needs to stay out of our business and we need to be all up in their business 😡🤔😤
$100 Billion for illegals, the admission, care for, housing, medical, food, alcohol, school.
$100 Billion ? Not that much
$172 Billion to Ukraine?
Rediculous
Rand for President! Put him in charge of the purse strings.
And they just went double on my taxes. Crooks.
Deduct the waist dollars from those that support the waist 🤔 problem solved.
They need to be audited. A surprise audit
They wouldn't pass it or change anything
Friends, I want to let you know because I'm in the army!!!! The Russian Ukraine war is getting worse and worse!!!!! There may be a third world war in winter!!!! Buy physical gold with all your strength or buy ounces of gold, let everyone know!!!!! Bad things happen more in cold weather so that the enemy gets weaker!!!!!! Hurry up, if necessary, withdraw a loan cash advance from the bank or borrow and get the gold immediately!!!!!! Do not sell gold unless you have to!!!!! Gold will be very valuable because there will be a big war and we will switch to digital currencies in 2-3 years at the earliest, take into account what I said!!!!!
Arkadaşlar orduda olduğum için haber vermek istiyorum!!! Rusya Ukrayna savaşı gittikçe kötüye gidiyor!!!! Kışın üçüncü dünya savaşı çıkabilir!!!!!! Bütün gücünüzle fiziki altın alın yada ons altın alın, herkese haber verin!!! Kötü olaylar daha çok soğuk havalarda olur düşman zayıflasın diye!! Acele edin gerekirse bankadan kredi nakit avans çekin yada borç alın ve hemen altını alın!! Mecbur olmadıkça altını satmayın!! Altın çok değerli olacak çünkü büyük bir savaş çıkacak ve dijital paralara geçiş yapacağız ortalama en erken 2-3 yıl içerisinde dediklerimi dikkate alın!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We audit real Americans. We need to have required annual audits from parties not in conflict of interest. This is our money entrusted to pur government..who has gone rogue. They work for US...let's keep it that way. Reduce gov.spending. Reduce gov.
Great question...thanks for trying to protect future Americans...and us now.
Rand seems to be the only one that keeps bringing up the insane financial spending by our government
The money is going into the pockets of those working for the government and those contracted by the government.
We have a two class system. 70-80% of us work to pay the rest (who decide, for themselves, how much they want to get paid).
We need to multiply Rand Paul!
I bet Politicians aren't struggling week to week while working their azz off..
Wheels on the bus go round and round.... round and round.
Rand Paul…the lone sane person in the room…..thank you, Sir!
I really wish Rand would run at some point.
Fire everyone that makes 100,000 or more from all these alphabet services 😡🤬
this money is not being tracked to the dollar, not even to 100,000 dollars for accounting
Bet it could be tracked to a few pockets though..
Just a thought, Rep R Paul, the accountability of this astronomical amount of taxpayers $$$ is and should be a priority as to how and where these funds are being used. Frightfully amount of $$$ needs to be protecting the USA citizens and our USA. No more $$. Please support the Border ASAP. Woke needs to be halted.
Follow OUR tax dollars. Cut the Useless spending
And EVERY word will fall on Def ears... why? FOLLOW THE MONEY!
they spent 5 million to study if a fish sleeps or stays awake all night long. but they ran out of money before they found out. they need 7 million more to complete the study than we will know for sure if a fish sleeps or not. and I can not Waite to find out. this is the greatest thing ever.
I don't know it that's true, but I've heard of other silly experiments that we fund. Maybe that w*han virus
Shit like this just strokes my desire to start cheating my taxes.. excessively.
No accountability whatsoever, total blank look just give me the taxpayers money...unbelievable the arrogance!!!
Straight up exposing the ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION in DHS!!
THANK YOU RAND PAUL!!!
Victory over you and Family Amen
right back at you, thank you
Rand Paul is so great, he knows what's happening.
Thank you for this program!
They found life on other planets I believe they're going to send it there
As a government employee, it’s astounding how far off the rails spending goes. There’s nine kinds of red tape to get through that does nothing but hinder our ability to spend money wisely. For example, we’ve been waiting months for a machine that will ultimately end up being bought at some point it’s just a matter of when. The purchase order has been submitted and instead of it being bought in a timely manner, we’ve spent probably close to the value of a new machine on rent. The other crews have machines that “met required specs” but not really and they have been broke down more than they’ve been in service because some higher up that has no idea what they’re looking at just picked the cheapest one without actually going over the requested specs. It’s been the same case with those. They’ve spent as much on rent and repair bills as they would have on a top of the line machine. Incompetence is rampant in the government because the majority of its employees have spent their entire careers working in government and don’t know what a budget is. Let alone how to complete a project to any standard that would fly in the private sector. It’s sickening to see it on a daily basis.
Where is the money going??? In Democrats LLC's, Offshore accounts, and any other place they can stash it. CROOKS
This is like watching Ozark. Follow the money and I bet we uncover massive corruption and embezzlement.
Agreed
The District of Criminals don’t care how much debt they hang on future generations to come. Only in government can you spend an insane amount of money and not worry about accountability or ROI…your great grandchildren be damned.
Not theirs!
We need to take our country back
Homeland security is on stand-by as it comes to our border, why do we need them? America is protected?!!!
The champion of the constitution version 2.
Awesome information 🤗
And Gary peters is part of the problem..hes the head of the committee ? The shameful Michigan senator
Thank you. The main thing that Congress needs to do is guarantee that all bills placed on the docket are read thoroughly by them or someone under them to discern if there are facts in it and if any side objectives are slipped into it.
Right! I was disgusted at how they rambled through the bills at the end of last year. Seemed Republicans were compliant. They didn't require it early enough to read and simply just passed the bad legislation.
Yup he's a doctor and knows what he's doing. He exposed all wasteful people in gov in this video. Excellent investigative work
Its going to crack. I bust my back at a job ,paid in debt notes,hardly have digits for quality food and robbed for crack cash.
It's going to get to the point that people are going to choose putting food on the family tables and a roof over their heads and not pay taxes. 300 million people do that. What are you going to do big government?
When they TAKE it from your paycheck..
@@RC-fi4ix Then they will find out what 300 million people taking down the government by force is. Most of our military will not fight for the government against the people they are supposed to protect. They will be on our side.
Great Job Thank you.
All i got to say is: Newsom Secret Chinese Bio Lab
It appears a tax revolt is in order. Doubt it would even put a dent in this idiotic spending, but would sure make me feel better and empowered.
Graphic novels are perfect for false narratives when there are no real world examples of criminal threats.
DHS
What a genius idea to ruin a country from within! 😂
Audit ALL tax payer money! Kentucky has the best Senators. Simple common sense genius.
Every single time I visit the grocery store and try to spend less ,I come out and my bill is at least $40-$50 . I look at what I got and it's basically nothing ,it's insane.
Mines 40-50 over what I usually spend..and no extras.
If we had a dollar every time Rand Paul was ignored on the budget…..
To actually balance the budget, the government would need to cut spending and raise taxes.
81% to the Office of Secretary and Executive Management? Looks like somebody gave everyone a huge raise.
It is really a stretch trying to understand the “ignoring of the obvious”, a phrase that Thomas Sowell coined, but very apropos. Rand Paul, you rock!
How much of the 31 trillion dollars of debt can be tracked down and recovered to pay off the debt !
Don't worry they still have a little Social Security money to throw at the problem.
I wish so much he would run for President.
"President Rand Paul".
It has a nice ring to it.
The corruption has FAR exceeded criminal levels.
Where's that money...
Its under a rock.😂
Thank you Rand Paul! Need more such clear thinking!
DEFOND !!!!!
Well Done, Senator Paul!
Government politicians should be the one's too pay all the nation's debt. Not we the people
Thank you for sharing this problem
Major financial problems have simple solutions. While our Politicians vote and spend like they have unlimited funds are the problem. If regular Americans voted on these same Bills they would NOT pass. Same with Militray budgets. If you cannot pass an audit, you should be investigated and not be sent another penny until your finances are proven and in order.
Stop the wastes of the American tax payers money
How about using the American tax’s going into The BS war in Ukraine in which He West started
How about paying into BS anything that works against the American people
Thanks for all the free tax money!
Said no government ever.
20 percent is wasted, the other 80 is laundered
MONEY ON A ONE WAY TRACT AND AIN'T COMING BACK.
bill= clinton (?)
bill as in another piece of $ called
USD bill...
Dr. Paul, knock their socks off
Ummmm. . .his speech reminded me of that scene in Independence Day where Bill Pullman's character (POTUS) says: Where do you get the funding for something like this?
Judd Hirsch's ( sp ?) character says something like this . .you don't think they actually pay $175.00 for toilets, do ya?
I like the chart guy that's eagerly awaiting the que to whip the chart up.He whacks the smoking hot lady in the head but she takes it like a champ.
Even Rand Paul wisely spends money on his interns. One is Johhny on the spot and one is a supermodel. LOL!
If the USA had more congress members, as analitical, coherent, hardworking, honest,intelligent, realistic and responsible, as Dr. Rand Paul, the nation would not be in the terrible situacion it is at present.
Great potencial to be a VP and next POTUS. Thank you congressman Rand Paul, for all you are doing for your nation and the people's best interest.
The sad part is their response is - yea we know we’re wasting it what’s your point ? 😂
Wish they all where like him
They need more money to fix the spending problem 🙄
Imagine if you will, spending 36 times the amount of money that you make, every month, month after month after month after month, what the fuck!
Not showing up to there jobs and getting paid , w t f.
Thank you 🙏🏻!
