Sen. Rand Paul on opposition to debt ceiling bill

Even before the debt limit bill comes to a vote in the House, some Republican senators are coming out against the "Fiscal Responsibility Act." CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane spoke with Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul about his thoughts on the legislation.

Fiscal "Responsibility " act. I love it. They add words that portray things one way when it is actually the opposite. Sadly most Americans don't read these bills.

Look, it's Rand Paul saying "no" again...

Where was Rand Paul when Trump was racking up $8 Trillion in debt during his 4 years?

[dhassamzz]

He s right- cut everything - all departments- the bureacrats- start at the top- the administrative waste- and do salary cuts on everyone- including legislators- concurrently increase revenue productivity- get all our resources going- oil- natural gas- cobalt etc-
Stop giving our money to foreign countries- and keep the electric/alternative energy options open- not forcing it on us

[Ericah]

I’m sorry folks, but I have to agree with him on the wasteful spending. We don’t need to know if Helen dogs can get addicted to cocaine or to make BEE 🐝 friendly highways

300 billion to Ukraine. We need that money for the 6M new migrants. Illegal immigration to cost New Yorkers $10 billion in 2023. This is just one area not counting the southern border etc.

Rand Paul is never for anything. So that is no surprise.

Rand Paul voted against an anti-lynching bill a few years ago. When it comes to his job, I don't believe he knows WTH he's doing.

[ernestpinson]

Stop giving Ukraine money 75 billion for what

[char]

Quit taking care of other countries youll have tons of money!!!

[twalrus]

Rand Paul would be against a sunrise tomorrow.

Those pushing back ( whether on the left or right)...how many of them crying poor now voted a few years back to give a $2 trillion tax cut to the top 1 percent??

[jordand]

All these arguments against Rand Paul are weak

[optimalprimidius]

Perhaps you confederates should give even more tax breaks for the rich ilk and maybe give them more billions a year. Yeah, that'll do it!

[geniegalos]

Rand Paul represents Kentucky. If he’s so worried about people on welfare, tell his state’s legislator to stop accepting federal money from the government. Kentucky is 57.8% dependent on federal money versus a state like Calif that depends on 3.8% from the federal government. It’s a clear fact that blue states subsidize red states. How bout we change that and every state fend for themselves. They’re so worried about welfare folks!!!!

[DaMartyr]

Enjoy the printing press now...hard times to come.

[avasolag]

If the Republicans get another bite at the Apple, so should the Democrats!!!! It isn’t your way or the Highway!!!

[mortsnerd]

Thanks Kentucky for sending another hemorrhoid to Washington.

[Psychetwo]

Quail study is wasteful, but building the wall is good use of spending. Paying stormy is also good spending.... rand paul everyone!

Sen. Paul is for the rich should get richer on the broken backs of the (used to be) middle and lower class Americans. Would be nice if the average Joe/Jolene won out for a change. Big business and the super rich should pay their fair share. We learned long ago that nothing rolls down hill from giving big cuts to large businesses. Just look at the average wage verses inflation since the 1970s.
