Rand Paul doubles down on big, beautiful bill criticism after Trump slam

[Mac-7]

You brought it up because your argument is garbage and you can’t stick to it.

Sure. Zero spending increases. Let’s do it. That means your social security check is shrinking next year.

more spending is great as long as interest on the debt does does not cripple spending for future retirees, children and soldiers in uniform

I know you will borrow and spend more money as for as you can

 

[Mac-7]

Sigh..yes...cutting taxes DOES increase the debt.
Money in => less....

Math...101.

Lower taxes stimulate the economy and do not add to the debt

You’re the one on the government dole. Why won’t you say whether you’d agree to a cut in your checks?

 

[whitehall]

One thing you can count on is that "The Hill" will not apologize for it's anti-bill propaganda if and when the bill is passed.

Cutting taxes prevents congress from spending more of our money on nonsense.

One thing is certain....Rand Paul won't be moved on this issue.
The more Trump trashes him, the more energy he gets:

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5330468-rand-paul-doubles-down-on-big-beautiful-bill-criticism-after-trump-slam/

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) doubled down on his objections to President Trump’s House-passed “big, beautiful bill” in Tuesday comments.

Paul said he strongly opposes raising the debt ceiling, which would be hiked by $4 trillion under the current legislation. Lawmakers have speculated the increase could cause debt to swell by $30 trillion over the next decade.

“I want to see the tax cuts made permanent, but I also want to see the $5 trillion in new debt removed from the bill. At least 4 of us in the Senate feel this way,” Paul wrote in a Tuesday morning post on the social platform X.

Republicans have a majority in the upper chamber but can only afford to have three defections to ensure the bill’s passage.

Paul, alongside Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Mike Lee(R-Utah), has urged his colleagues to cut down on spending allotments to rein in the country’s debt.

His problem is his goal is exactly what I’d like to see as well. Chop the fuck out of government and spending. But at some point you have to realize you’re only one of a hundred that get to vote on this shit and maybe he can get his head out of his ass and work on what he can reasonably get.

Lower taxes means that we have more of our money.

The debt is what congress spent and is currently a loan they're forced to pay interest on.

I seriously think they plan to default on that loan.

Cutting taxes...does not increase revenues....unless you cook the books (2017) and then bring all that money back home only to invest it in stock buybacks...whew....

 

[YoursTruly]

horsecrap. Trump is extremely skilled in utterly controlling the MAGA party. If didn't want it, it wouldn't happen.

KA fucking BOOM!!!!!!!!!!! Nailed it to the floor.


All Johnson and his RINO's have talked about is doing Trumps bidding. Getting what Trump wants. Doing what Trump wants them to do. And now that Trumps true blue colors are showing, the bots have to come up with a new line of BS. Like blaming everyone except Trump.

You Trump people just refuse to get it.
In Dec., it was just pass the bill and increase the debt ceiling. Because in March, we'll have implemented so many spending cuts, it won't even matter.
Then March came and we got a Biden size CR. And more excuses about "well, we gotta pass this one now. But the next one, we'll have some major MAJOR spending cuts."

Guess what excuse they're using this time? "Raise the debt ceiling now, so we can cut spending later."

Same shit. Different shovel

Good for them.

 

[egp320i]

That's the way people like him are. It's never enough.




Best country in the world by gathering all the personal information available on the citizens and centrally locating it?

For what purpose?

u,,,,,,china does not, North and south korea do not...........russia and the EU do not? that's funny

 

[egp320i]

You need to separate the Conservatives from the MAGAts. MAGAts are showing they blindly follow an insanity Orange Cheeto. You want to see what a real conservative looks like? Take a good look at the I Like Ikes.,

that would be equal to separating the left wing lunatics from the main democratic base, you know those who thought biden was brilliant, harris was the messiah, obama was the best president ever........etc
worth both ways......

 

[Mac-7]

My plan is freeze the budget at the current level with no automatic cost of living increases

And then reduce spending 1% across the board next year

Its the only practical way to reduce the deficit

Now what is your idea?

 

[JWBooth]

Cutting taxes prevents congress from spending more of our money on nonsense.

It would if not for never ending debt ceiling increases and the corresponding kabuki theater.

 

[j-mac]

Tax cuts don’t lead to greater revenue. It’s a myth you’ve been told.

Ok prove your statement using the past three cuts. If I’m not mistaken, all three led to increased revenue to the treasury.

His father never did. Apple/tree and all that.

Just own up it

Ron Paul was the biggest fraud ever.
