DEFUND all congressman who vote for this insane spending bill.
On both sides, Republicans are voting for it too, so they can get re-elected. Its gross by both sides. Neither party has American's interests at heart.
You have then dissolve the cr6p.
...what the hell are you talking about? Anything you don't like="Dur defund it"
lol that's not how govt works. you'd have better luck getting piglets to wean themselves off the teat.
@@adamnash1873 the government shouldn't be forcing us to spend money on shit we don't need.
Stop giving Entitlements out to foreigners . Stop Funding other Countries . Stop giving Politicians in DC Raises and benefits .
Then what's the point of the federal government?
It's that easy but these corrupt disgusting pigs in power won't . Horrible and shameful
@@gramma677US should have never federalized
@@gramma677 The fed was only ever suppose to be protection of military, and to secure constitutional freedoms as the times change. That's it, now look at it. We have become the United States of Corporate America.
@@UndertakerFromWWE little late for that
1,012 pages at the last minute, Stop letting them do this !
Think of all the wasted money in 1,000 pages. 😮
That is a Palosi tactic..."YOU HAVE TO PASS IT TO FIND OUT WHATS IN IT" as she passes out THOUSANDS OF PAGES.
Anyone know what's in the patriot act, to this day???
This should be illegal!!!
They tried on January 6
Should have closed the government! It should never have passed!
Amen! That’s what needs to happen!
How would that solve anything? Would cause more problems and costs in the long run.
@@joesaine3418 Explain why you think that, because it's not true.
Close it down and NO PAY for congress and the senate until this sh¡t is resolved. NO back pay either. Maybe then they will get their heads out of their azzes.
@@joesaine3418and this doesn’t?
This is not a good bill. Vote NO to this bill.
I believe a 1.2 Trillion bill passed 286 to 134. Today, like this morning. You're late.
Most Democrats voted for this-that should be a warning!
Everyone involved in passing it stands to benefit from it. Everyone who has to pay for it is not being asked their opinion. Do you ask a chicken what's for dinner?
it passed the senate @@rw4576
yeah, that' already passed. They did this to us already.
We need SINGLE ITEM spending bills, NO MORE OMNIBUS PORK BARREL BILLS. WTH!
I agree. How can they do that?
100 %
We been saying that for decades they want stop
But they never will because this is precisely how they go from 500k net worth to $3M net worth in a year. All the pork gets funneled back into their own pockets. Talk about corruption!!!!!
This is all a bluff for the money laundering schemes they call greasing the big wheel in the Washington sky, Bush Oil & SPAC kickbacks to pay_4_players...
Passing EARMARKS to benefit personal acquaintances is such a DISGRACE. The senators whose area has benefited from the EARMARKS should be looked into.
Thank you Paul for the eye openers..
How about stop spending our money . Americans stop paying taxes
i am OK with spending money if it makes money when i Mean making money i am talking other counties money we need to export we were selling large amounts of oil Natural gas over seas
income tax is voluntary only 2% of the US are supposed to pay taxes and that is only in DC...
If we don't pay taxes they(government) , depending on who you are, may send you go to jail.
This spending bill already passed, they're going to keep printing money even if you don't pay your taxes. The objective is to bring down everything and bring out the digital dollar. They're fast tracking.
@@chuck2306this is a sample of what is in the bill
- $850k for a gay senior home
- $15 million to pay for Egyptian's college tuitions
- $400k for a gay activist group to teach elementary kids about being trans
- $500k for a DEI zoo
- $400k for a group to gives clothes to teens to help them hide their gender
People don’t pay attention. That’s why our society is crumbling.
TikTok
Even if Americans pay attention it wouldn't make a difference.
Very true
@@NancyK-cu6xjit might. The level of disconnection is astounding. Refuse to re-elect anyone who voted yes on a spending bill that wasn’t read.
@@NancyK-cu6xj According to the WEF, you need only 3.5% of the population being declared dissidents, to change or at least resist the course of the events. Again, according to them we're about 5% as of last year. Of course they could be wrong but I think that even if things looks grim at the moment, you might also imagine that they could be even worse😅
Sen Dr Rand Paul is EXACTLY right!!!
Sadly this isn't the first time a federal politician has called this out and probably won't be the last. What has happened?
Vote no for these bills
How much goes to illegal immigrants. It's close to $1 Trillian already.
Exactly
Actually in 2023 it was estimated by FAIR to be $150 billion in federal, state and local funds spent in support of illegal immigrants. This takes into account that illegals pay some taxes too... about $32 billion a year (the total cost of illegal immigrationi is around $182 billion... less $32 billion equals $150 billion).
Still, it's a big number. It works out to $957 per year per US taxpayer... or about $75 a month from each and every one of us.
The costs include food, clothes, housing, education, transportation, phones, legal expenses, CBP, ICE and even our tax money going to support NGOs and non-profits that encourage illegal immigration. Yes, they are actually using our tax dollars to increase and promote illegal immigration.
most of which is money spent incarcerating/deporting them
@@alanm.4298 They pay them via cash/ebt card $2,200 per month. That's a full take home income for most Americans working full time. Imagine an illegal family of 4 getting a free six figure income, while we take home less pay with the highest cost of living in history?
Stay in Mexico saved America money including the drop in illegal drugs entering, law enforcement throughout the country dealing with non assimilated people while taking resources from our poorest citizens.
Insanity is in the house
Rand Paul might be the last honest politician in DC.
You got Massie, and hopefully Justin Amash gets back in the senate. They’ve voted no on all these omnibus bills. Trump even threw Massie under the bus for demanding a recorded vote for the massive Covid relief package, which didn’t have enough members present to pass but they lied and shoved it through anyways.
The whole thing is criminal
His father was. This guy is a plant. That way Americans can point to him and say "at least one guy up there is making sense".
If i was the king- I would make sure to pay a few rands to make the whole operation look legit.
Politicians lie like birds sing. Worship your corporate masters if you wish.
There are a couple others, I believe Jim Jordan, and Chip Roy also have our back. Idk if I could say the same for any others.
I don’t know about last, but one of the very, very few. I’d bet a dozen at best
There should be NO MORE earmarks until the budget is balanced and the deficit is all gone!!!
Everyone in Congress is hired to read all of the bill before passing it.... Isn't that part of your homework that we hired you for⁉️
Not so easy when they give it to you last minute. Deadlines must be set and adhered to, and bills must be thoroughly read, every part recited, and only general welfare items allowed before it can be passed. How difficult is that to do? How is doing otherwise even legal?
Where were you when Nancy Pelosi said “you will have to vote for the bill before you can see what’s in it”?
AI will help with that
We need more like Rand Paul in DC.
He voted FOR the 2017 Tax Cuts for the wealthy and corporations that added TRILLIONS to the nation's debt. Rand Paul is a JOKE!
we should have voted for his father when he ran for president i did the fact that the most honest man at the time didn't even come close to winning that presidential race speaks volumes of our shit uni party system
Rand Paul was one of two senators who voted against the 9/11 victims fund, in 2019. I like Rand Paul when he calls out stupid stuff like drunk sunfish, and when he called out the fact the president can legally drone strike a US citizen on American soil. Other than that Rand Paul stands for absolutely nothing other than increased austerity. Time and time again governments that implement spending cuts like that have been proven to fail people and the economy.
He would be a better journalist than a Senator.
Trillions in debt but spending imaginary money on total bullcrap
It's both encouraging escapism and giving some people more things to steal
@Eternal_Mission316they have set themselves up so the people can’t do anything. The military backs these people and listen like robots coded to do as they say. The military needs to get behind it.
We have to pay for all those people that deserve a sex change surgery! We have to support the trans community. I mean gosh has any “community “ ever been given so much at ONCE? This admin gave them alone millions…. Insanity
Didn't mention the pension benefits the government employees get

Preach it Senator Paul!!! 👍Speaking the truth!!
Right on, Sen.Paul! Thank you❣️
It's not borrowed-it's stolen.
It’s inflation devaluing the dollar. It’s not borrowed or stolen. It magically appears from nowhere.
sure, but people buy bonds and so they're complicit, just as you would if you bught a stolen good. Let's be honest, today politics is the reflection of ourselves as a whole, to change that, start from yourself.
it's worse than stolen...we have to pay interest on it the rest of our lives and our children for the rest of their lives
@@Dick_Trady It's more a reflection of the ruling class than it is the people. Who rules America? Don't ask anti-Semitic questions.
@@pyongyangbroadcastingservi3086 I have my doubts about not ruling people not involved in this situation, I see many around me just talking but never take any action that goes in line with their talking, and I'm not speaking about life changing choices. For example, as I was saying, if you are pissed off by gov spending, you shouldn't buy bonds, period. It's a little gesture, since there are multiple ways to invest your money, which gives flesh to your ideals, doesn't it?
Rand Paul is the ONLY ADULT IN THE ROOM. Give him supreme power to fix this shit.
He voted FOR the 2017 Tax Cuts for the wealthy and corporations that added TRILLIONS to the nation's debt. Rand Paul is a JOKE!
Chip Roy was yelling on the house floor the same thing Rand Paul did
There’s some others but yeah no Democrats for sure
Include a congressman from Arizona as another adult in the room .....
Speaking and doing are two different things. Worship your corporate masters if you wish.
Again, empty seats where people making literally a fortune a year have something better to do than their job.
you silly ignorant people constantly remarking that. . The congress isn't on duty at this time when they make thier Special Order speeches. this is for the public to see on video. LOL AFTER HOURS essentially.
@@christigothThey are paid enough and have all the power, they want the job they should have to be in that building 14 hours a day 5 days a week.
They should be in committee and reading bills, etc; working in their office. Thats not how this works. 🤦🏽♀️ there are supposed to be empty seats. These speeches take place well into the night.
@@AngerOfTheLand -- If those are the job requirements, then that will seriously skew the kind of person who signs up it--and probably not for the better.
For example, it would preclude anyone who has a healthy family life from running, which would give Congress a blind spot for policies which adversely affect families.
@mvmlego1212 congress cares about average joe's family's life? Weird.
i played a game called Democracy 4, where you manage a nation's policy, budget, taxation and foreign policy.
for 3 weeks i played as the US, try to balance the budget, improve productivity, science research. nothing worked! the most i played the more i realized how deep in a hole we are, the interest alone is 200 billion per quarter. we spend 3 times more on interest payment than EDUCATION! we are soo sooo sooo skrewed!
Get your laughs while you can and start prepping
Yet rinos who ran on eliminating wasteful spending and balancing the budget voted for this monstrosity 😡
yep, got an email today from my "republican" representative, that he proudly voted for it and listed great things from the bill, omitting the rest of it.
@@annapatton4544 I called and emailed my congressman Tim Walberg (r) informing him that he ran on eliminating wasteful spending and balancing the budget and by voting for the bill he has proven himself to be a liar and I will not vote for him in November
Please respond to your RINO traitors Rep and let them know you will never cast a vote for them. They need to hear it, then they need to see it.@@annapatton4544

They sure did, the Uni party hard at subverting the country.
12-year-olds who stole their parent's credit card and are on a spending spree are what is happening here.

Its literally like that.

This SHIT is DEPRESSING!
Yes it is. But it's what's going down.
Just remember you/we didn't do it. The government did.
That’s some bad hat Harry
But we allowed it with our vote, voting in reps that vote for this BS@@garyhall4326
It needs to be to cause change. Almost nobody wants to do anything when "its fine the way it is". Be disgusted.
This is so sick ! How dare they continue to ruin this country! What a bunch of traitors.
They've been doing that for decades
Now, they just don't care anymore
What's worse? A traitor, or a coward who wont do anything about it?
One group attacking another group of the same.They call it mutual combat here in Illinois. Sadness
Fantastic speech! I wish Florida had a Rand Paul.
Should not be allowed to pass. Thank you Sen. Rand Paul.
There should be NO PORK in this bill.
There should be NO PORK in any Bill!!
CUT THE "FAT" DOWN TO ESSENTIALS "NO MORE SPENDING"
Pork is from china, is what I understand, I may be wrong but I heard this on one of the session.
There should be no pork in any Bill! Wake up
We have a RECKLESS administration……
The administration has nothing to do with what gets passed in the house other than signing it to law or vetoing it. BTW republicans have the majority in the house, they brought it to the Senate floor. Educate yourself.
This sickens me to no end
This spending is criminal
So sick of the uniparty. Stop the money going to Ukraine and put it into social security.
That will barely even delay the inevitable collapse of the multi-generational entitlement ponzi scheme. Medicaid is broke within 10 years, probably less. Other programs are not far behind. Why do you think they're borrowing non stop? Expenses > Income longer than many of us have been alive, how do you think the new generations will react to being told they're debt slaves because of actions taken before they were even born? Do you think they'll keep playing along?
you didnt watch the video he said to cut social security
They will have to if they don't stop spending on stupid stuff
I think that's the problem, most of it goes to social security and it's off limits
Any earmark included in a bill like that should also be REQUIRED to list the Senator or representative by name that is entering it!
Keep on it brother I hope one day this will help .
Thank you Randy Paul to put a light on governments BS spending.
He voted FOR the 2017 Tax Cuts for the wealthy and corporations that added TRILLIONS to the nation's debt. Rand Paul is a JOKE!
Got news for you, he's in on it too, none of this works without both sides playing the part.
@@Jd7-oe8wc Both sides are part of the problem, but he didn't vote for it
@@SOPERFECTT Don't forget about the Bohemian Grove.

I am not sure what is more depressing, this speech or the fact that the Senate is empty behind him when debating the budget bill.
Both of those things validates the other, that’s for sure!
Well he is Right, telling what this crazy careless Democrat politicians spending our Tax $
Kind of like us voting and hoping things might change. I respect Rand Paul. He is hoping we who hear this will start doing our due diligence.
This should be on the evening news
We need to call all of our Senator's or send them postcards daily until they realize we are paying attention! Maybe registered mail even.... #TIREDoFbEINGiGNORED
Keep at it Rand Paul!
If you pay into a program it's not an entitlement... you paid for it. Tired of paying the load for people that don't pay in ...how about fix that?!
Who ever signs anything without reading it. How is this possible, they all need to be fired right now.
And it's OUR MONEY! We should be able to keep our own $ rather then let them give it away. Or at least have a darn say so.
It's because they bring it out just before it's time to vote so nobody has a chance to read it cuz they are trying to send money to everyone instead of what it's supposed to be for
How many idiot sign the app. terms of service without reading them? Unless you re-read the entire document prior to using the app, you are liable for any changes they have made. I am thinking of starting an app and changing my terms of service so users agree to giving up all of their assets and taking on the debts owed on their assets. The legal system needs to stop these agreements as people are so addicted to the internet they would sell their souls to use it.
This has been going on for decades.
Cryptocurrencies are a way to avoid reckless taxation. It’s one thing to take money from your paycheck. It’s another to take money that’s sitting in your bank account (aka inflation )
He is seriously the only senator with any sense.
But why was he against impeaching evil monopoly Mayorkas?
Has he ever asked how much money has been give to a particular country in Asia?
Just say Middle East. It’ll be more clear which you’re referring to.
And any sense
He tells the truth America needs a president like him right now, he’s not extremist enough for the majority though.

We have to stop these kinds of ear marks,the bills need to be plainly laid out for the greater good…….
We complain about this every year and it never stops.
The factories are in republican districts and then the democrats own the stock in those companies. Spend, spend, spend.
@martinm3474 most of the factories in Illinois have either been closed down for "Climate Change" regulations or the company is tired if being taxed to death, many have just gone out of business after our "Dictator" Governor Meatball liked having power to lock us down, try to force vax cards, and the money they poured into their business to comply with the state just to be open! It's sad because it's mostly Family businesses that closed shop, sadly, they went broke first, businesses that had been open all my life 😢 Chicago's retail businesses have closed up and boarded up due to crime. Now the feds are trying to run the farm or run them out. Makes me wonder what he arranged for China. Notice he wants all electric but has put $0.00 into the infrastructure of our power grid, is Hunter selling energy to the Americans for China or maybe Ukraine? 🤔
Every year 99%+ of Americans vote for the Uniparty. It is no wonder it never gets better.
because everyone likes to complain but never do anything about it.
That's not true....they do write books about it. 😢
How is this not public corruption?
It is in every way
It's not corruption! It's fiscally irresponsible, there's a difference.
@@onceagain6184 colluding with others to steal American tax money is corruption. When any system is corrupted it breaks down.
They investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing. 🤡
@@onceagain6184: I absolutely disagree. We passed irresponsible decades ago, this is corruption. When you have two different sides of the political spectrum and 75-80% of one side votes with the other, it’s corruption. I think that if you start looking into the backgrounds of our representatives in Congress, you will find a lot of self-enrichment going on, and that’s not why they are sent to congress.
Where are all the representatives that should be sitting in their chairs listening? No show? They should be fired and lose all benefits and pension.
The swamp needs drained!
We support you, Sen Paul.
He voted FOR the 2017 Tax Cuts for the wealthy and corporations that added TRILLIONS to the nation's debt. Rand Paul is a JOKE!
Shouldn't all earmarks be unconstitutional since they aren't for the general welfare?
Shouldn't "lobbying" be called bribery???
I agree on both questions.
No earmarks and no lobbying.
Earmarks = unconstitutional
Lobbying = bribery

Excellent point ! Good for you !❤
STOP PAYING TAXES TO THESE CRIMINALS! #ntwr
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD ANYONE ALLOW ALL THIS SHIT!!!
Thank you, Senator Rand Paul. We need more like you in the senate. This was very enlightening.
Bills should not have EARMARKS. If they do they should be ILLEGAL
Oh bills should have earmarks... At the local level. The federal government does not have the right. They do it anyways of course.
Our local army depot tears up new concrete to repour it every year while other areas are in dire need of being redone. All they say is that the money was earmarked for this part of the depot, not the needed part and they have to spend that money bc if they don't then they may lose that funding in the next fiscal year. That is our government in a nutshell... dumb
How about we keep our money and each put it where we want it to be. Not hand it off to middle men who take all the cream off the top in transit.
Taxation is theft.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969exactly right!! None of that pork is ever spent on what it was earmarked for. It’s all a magic show…make the 💵 disappear.
All bills should be only earmarks. Every expendature should be justified before any money is allotted for it. We should not be passing bills that allot money for anything that is not justified.
Thank you!!!
There’s only one way to stop this corruption, but no one‘s ready to have that conversation. Voting doesn’t work so there’s only one way.
Eat the rich
@@daveloya6510 The result of eating the rich will be unemployment, and more poverty. It is only SOME of the rich that are wrecking things: those who corrupt politicians with bribes. Those who seek advantage within government, instead of by making and selling better products and services in the marketplace.
If voting doesn't work, why is Rand Paul there? Looks like people just don't agree with your vote and thus vote in other directions.
Shut it down...

Truth bombs from Rand Paul, as always,
Shut off all bills until they can be reviewed judiciously
Rand Paul would be an excellent Senate Minority Leader.
President
Why? So nothing could get done. You wouldn't even have a country with someone like him in charge. There would be no post office, no roads, no bridges, no highway, no interstate, no schools. He and others like him don't believe in spending a dime. Why would someone like that be good for America.
We need a moratorium of spending so no we don't need one more thing
Why was he against impeaching evil Mayorkas?!?

Martha's Vineyard doesn't need a single penny until they start taking in the illegals too. They got a handful and within 24 hours had them shipped to a military base. No other town in America got treatment like that. If their hospital needs that kind of money then maybe some of the locals should sell their guest or servants' homes to raise cash. The next town over from me doesn't even have a hospital anymore, so now you have to travel 18 miles in one direction or 25 miles in the other to reach one. The hospital closed due to lack of funds, a million dollars would have probably saved it since it was a small town hospital. I think we should make a law that anything being added to possible bills should be labeled with who added it, so we can see who is trying to screw over the American people.
Your right!
Your complaining won’t do anything. Take action
Why was this passed in the house?
@@aletaharris2486..and more importantly, what select handful of democrats wrote this ridiculous insanity bill behind closed doors, without Republicans, then handed it to them to read and sign within 24 HOURS, before Easter break!

Excellent information. This is exactly the problem. Needless spending.

With Chip Roy and Byron Donalds backing him up - - BRINGING THE RECEIPTS !!!
The government prints its bonds out of thin air and it can also slap 0% interest on its bonds if it wants to. The entire concept of "government debt" is a bogeyman they bring out to scare the poors from asking for more. The only thing you have when a government spends more than it taxes is inflation, but the entire concept of "debt" and comparing to a household budget holds no water. It's a con.
@@oldnotweak Agree... and being a physician, Rand should be running all the Health agencies as well as the FDA.
I have to pay my debts, pay my taxes, my medical, gifts, $ to people in need, all on the money from my salary. WHY can't the government do the same?

@@allhopeabandon7831oh so he earned your respect? How?
Problem is by borrowing money, we are not seeing the effects of the spending. The next generation will have to pay for it, and they will have higher taxes and a share of their life will be enslaved to pay off what we are borrowing now. If we were paying for this spending we would feel the effects and reverse course, instead it'll come down like a ton of bricks once we can't take more credit.
Thank you Senator. I wish everyone would listen to this.
All this logic and facts and people will STILL vote this through. IT'S DISGUSTING
Cut government waste and I bet there will be plenty of money for entitlements for the American people. I like Vivek R’s idea of cutting the federal government by 90%.
Look to the Constitution for mandated Federal spending: Courts, Jails, Post Office and post roads, military. Total for all mandated spending is just under $1 Trillion a year in FY 2024. The rest is social benefit spending and the interest on the debt due to excessive spending.
That's probably a great idea, as long as people get used to far less services & protections that we currently have.
Also, it'll be a nightmare if the wrong administration oversees that, because we would just become a kleptocracy like Russia where the people in the leader's inner circle all become ridiculously rich collecting the same (tax) money as before, but provide fewer services & enriching themselves.
A tighter budget with less reckless spending definitely needs to be the goal, but it's a slippery slope (in regards to corruption potential).
WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE DOING WITH OUR MONEY?
Looting it
The problem is the omnibus, they put everything under the sun in there with no one knowing what's in it.this is going to destroy America wake up people

Playing with it 😂
Great speaking. Please listen. Please, we need more such honesty..
Amen. Government’s role was never for “providing stuff” to the public. Valid government roles are defense and infrastructure. That is all and that is plenty. Why not food and housing and education and EVs and ad nauseam? Because that gives government control in areas that result in tyranny, injustice and oppression.

Gaming is the biggest media industry on the planet. The digital gaming industry made 184 billion dollars in 23.
The failed and burning movie and streaming industries only made 40 billion.
The leftists have been attempting to use the gaming industry to reach the youth.
They are losing major ground on this front and are panicking.

No Term limits plus No Accountability equals a government dumpster fire.
Seems like a pretty simple solution to me, eliminate and cancel all "earmarks" and "add-ons" until a national profit instead of a deficit.
The costs for martha's vineyard and that one Baltimore school, ridiculous costs for no guarantee.
I'd like to know how a school can charge as much as it is charging, make a profit and then still increase costs blaming inflation, while borrowing or just taking money from the government as well?
Unbelievable costs, imagine the savings when they get audited and organised better.
This makes it VERY hard to pay taxes! 🤬
Absolutely NO! Fed up with the pork in all these bills. Cut the fat!
I wish there were more Rand Pauls in this world.
Keep Speaking Truth, Sen. Paul! ❤❤❤
I worked all my life for Medicare and Social Security. I need both of these. As far as I'm concerned, cuts to these programs should be off the table.
I agree, I am also on social security but for disability and I can't make it alone. Bidens "Drug Deal" raised all my prescriptions! The liers on both sides need voted out and we need to ask more questions before elections cause the hateful comercials don't cut it! I want real answers and a signed pledge to the CONSTITUENTS!
I agree. I’ve been paying in to these for over 45 years. Still a couple of years from retirement. If they cut them, i will be one of millions who will become homeless.
We paid for 47 years into the system, totaling at least twice as much as we will ever draw to live on. Don’t call Social Security and Medicare for retirees an entitlement if we were forced to pay for it!
There needs to be talk to roll it out, for example, people who are 30 and under can stop paying and invest in the private sector, if they choose to pay then they will get a pro rated amount. Until something realistic like this gets discussed it will only get worse.
With the price of inflation your SS won’t be worth anything soon anyways fyi. I’m sure it barely is now.
Continuing Resolutions and omnibus spending bills should be as illegal as first degree murder!
Should be as illegal as not paying taxes at least right?
Rico is not a crime AOC
THANK YOU
Spot on
These omnibus bills should bo out lawed. This is insane@@@
David Schweikert really needs to be on the appropriations committee. Read the bill before approving it! Let the gov't shut down until it's been read and ratified.
SS unfunded by 26.7 Trillion
Medicare unfunded by 40.9 Trillion
Look on the US debt clock, they show the source US Treasury.
Need this in stereo. Only receiving audio on left side
Amen!
No American family can do this, and the government shouldn't be allowed to do this!!!!
Term Limits.
This falls on deaf ears but god bless you for standing up for We The People
Can you list the name of each representative or senator that add each earmark. Let's use social media to shame them for the stupid "research" earmarks
absolute insanity, thank you Rand Paul!
That's what I respect about Paul he doesn't just talk the talk on cutting spending he walks the walk opposing big spending packages
He voted FOR the 2017 Tax Cuts for the wealthy and corporations that added TRILLIONS to the nation's debt. Rand Paul is a JOKE!
