Rand Paul proposes funding infrastructure spending by cutting off aid to Pakistan!

[danielpalos]

That's funny coming from a guy who professes the belief that the federal government shouldn't be in the infrastructure business..

The reason why they should not be on the infrastructure business is because they suck ass at it. It’s all about waste, fraud and abuse...

Yet, we have alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror.

Progressives are all for the war on drugs... fact

The right wing only pays lip service for small government

 

[danielpalos]

If we have needs at home why are we giving money away to begin with?

Do you postpone your home repairs to fund your neighbors activities?

The Romans spent centuries buying-off the Barbarians nipping at the edges of the Empire...

All they needed was a market friendly visa program.

They could have used loyal, tax paying colonia, securing the opposite side of the empire.

Trump already spent the Pakistani aid reduction in his budget busting tax bill.

Let's end the drug war.

Trump to announce $1.7 trillion infrastructure package at State of the Union

Infrastructure: $1.7 trillion
Aid to Pakistan: $67 billion (in constant 2011 dollars) to Pakistan between 1951 and 2011.

Fifty years of aid to Pakistan doesn't even cover one tenth of the right side of the decimal point.

Any more brilliant ideas from your wrapped heads?

Only Low-IQs Are Taken in by the Drop-in-a-Bucket Fallacy

Yeah, we'll just cut out $67 billion of infrastructure spending in your area. I'm sure you prefer Pakkis plotting jihad over you and your neighbors getting to work on time. You'll feel better about your moral superiority by neglecting potholes in order to fund shitholes.

Please explain how a few million dollars will fund Trump's $1.7 trillion pothole filling program.

Our foreign aid goes toward fighting terrorism, AIDS, Ebola, and poverty. Humanitarian assistance. It attempts to improve conditions around the world to keep the non-whites you hate from coming here.

Idiots like you think our foreign aid spending is a giant chunk of the budget. It isn't. It makes up less than one percent of the $4 trillion budget. That comes out to less than $40 billion a year, you isolationist moron.

There Is Nothing "Humanitarian" About Empowering the Enemies of the Human Race

Dead in the water. Every bucket is filled drop by drop, so only partisan idiots use your mindless fallacy, usually when they have no other argument. Transnationalists hate America First because they don't want us to last.

Democrats need to start thinking about the needs of Americans.

Bittler Vindictive Misfits

DNC e-mail: "Americans are so boring and beneath us. But it is thrilling to care about everybody on the planet; there are so many more of them and they are all victims of America.. Besides, Americans hate our guts and we need to get even for that."

Won't happen

They are too invested in creating a cycle of dependence of the nanny state to buy votea

We really don't need to be sending money to Pakistan

I never said the proposal was a wash, neither did Rand

BUT it's a great place to start

I think the tide is finally turning. I say that because some democrats are now starting to turn against cryin’ Chuck.

[busybee01]

Rand Paul shows you don't have to be smart to be a Senator. I wonder if he is aware of the fact that Pakistan is a nuclear power so stability in Pakistan is a part of our national security.

so we need to bribe them to make sure they don't attack us?

screw that

Rand has it correct

We have a interest in a stable Pakistan. Rand has no clue what he is talking about.

Yep

Especially interstate highways, which includes bridges

Technically falls under military

 

[Jarlaxle]

No, actually, it falls under Article 1, section 8, clause 7.

yes

but most people do not realize that Ike initiated the interstate highways because of how impressed he was with the Autobahn - the fundamental reason was to make it easier to transport troops and military supplies easily

the positive affects for commerce and the public is a huge bonus

that's why I said "technically"...

So you're only response to the difference between Trump's $1.7 trillion program and $40 billion in foreign aid is that you will make up the difference by filling up potholes with your racist hate.
