1, 012 pages at the last minute, Stop letting them do this !

[waltermorelly]

Who ever signs anything without reading it. How is this possible, they all need to be fired right now.

[Kathy-ub]

Should have closed the government! It should never have passed!

[seesea-svxw]

We need SINGLE ITEM spending bills, NO MORE OMNIBUS PORK BARREL BILLS. WTH!

[amendaburks]

How about stop spending our money . Americans stop paying taxes

[stevenmach]

Passing EARMARKS to benefit personal acquaintances is such a DISGRACE. The senators whose area has benefited from the EARMARKS should be looked into.

[TheBirdandEagle]

Should not be allowed to pass. Thank you Sen. Rand Paul.

[danielclawson]

DEFUND all congressman who vote for this insane spending bill.

[stefan.agnello]

Sadly this isn't the first time a federal politician has called this out and probably won't be the last. What has happened?

[otishart]

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.

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.

Thank you, Senator Rand Paul. We need more like you in the senate. This was very enlightening.

[doranfrump]

We complain about this every year and it never stops.

[patrickrichardson]

It's not borrowed-it's stolen.

[watchprayact]

This is so sick ! How dare they continue to ruin this country! What a bunch of traitors.

[CherylReid-wu]

Preach it Senator Paul!!! 👍Speaking the truth!!

[scottparrish]
