Sen. Rand Paul expressed strong opposition to a massive spending bill, currently under consideration in the Senate, primarily due to its proposal to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. Paul, while supporting the extension of tax cuts, highlighted concerns over the projected $2.4 trillion increase in deficits over the next decade, as reported by the Congressional Budget Office. He compared Congress's spending habits to irresponsible teenagers and criticized the burgeoning military budget included in the bill, suggesting that the increased spending would undermine fiscal responsibility. Paul remains opposed unless the debt ceiling increase is scaled back.
If you have teenage children and you gave them a credit card and they maxed out $2,000 on booze and gambling, would you give them a bigger credit line or a smaller credit line?
They have a history of not being fiscally responsible. You should give them a very short debt ceiling increase and say, Show me and prove to me you'll act responsibly, and I'll give you more money.
This bill is really a vehicle for Lindsey Graham to secretly explode beyond on the military budget... That's what the bill is about.
If the new spending weren't in there, it truly would be a bill that would be saving money.
