Rand Paul’s HALF AN HOUR rant on wasteful government programs | FULL SPEECH

“A sentimentalist is simply one who wants to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it. We think we can have our emotions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing emotions have to be paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine. The intellectual and emotional life of ordinary people is a very contemptible affair. Just as they borrow their ideas from a sort of circulating library of thought--the Zeitgeist of an age that has no soul--and send them back soiled at the end of each week, so they always try to get their emotions on credit, and refuse to pay the bill when it comes in. You should pass out of that conception of life. As soon as you have to pay for an emotion you will know its quality, and be the better for such knowledge. And remember that the sentimentalist is always a cynic at heart. Indeed, sentimentality is merely the bank holiday of cynicism.” - Oscar Wilde

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE In Congress, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

[@gishgishgish]

He names the top five of our budget in the following order: #1 Medicare #2 Medicaid #3 Social Security #4 Food Stamps #5 The Military Take note how he names food stamps ahead of military spending, when it isn't even close. The increase in military spending alone, mind you just the increase, is equal to the entire food stamp budget. He does this because he knows it riles up his base. He is deliberately misleading his own followers about military spending because he wants to draw attention away from his own fallacies. Ask yourself, what was more important this past year food or military? If your going to prioritize spending, then get your own numbers in the correct order first.

Where was rand paul when the tax scam called the “tax cuts and jobs act” was signed into law by his “fiscally responsible” republican friends in 2017, which will add trillions to the debt in the years to come and DID NOT PAY FOR THEMSELVES like republicans said. Btw, Biden does have a plan as part of his massive proposed spending on infrastructure, that is expected to help the homeless, including veterans, which unlike the tax cuts for the rich that republicans keep pushing for, would actually help all of us, including homeless veterans. What did rand paul or reublicans say about the debt/deficit when trump was president, as government spending was super high and the deficit and debt kept spiraling out of control? The debt only matters to these clowns when there is a democrat in the white house.

Its not a rant. Its about a debt the Democrats are increasing year by year. In 100 days, we see Joey discussing the spending of a trillion a month. In the meantime, worker paychecks with tax deductions are slim pickins. America becomes weaker by the day as the debt increases. The borrower is servant to the lender. Jan 1st, America became more indebted and weaker. America has no collateral except for the taxpayers promise to pay. Joey fired workers nationwide and allowed thousands of illegal aliens to enter the country to work jobs "under the table". Already 2008 financial nightmare is repeating when VP Kammy stated America must invest in Mexico and other Latin countries as a gesture of friendly neighborhod bonding. Everyone is in DEBT.

The US really needs to deal with the deficit and debt rationally. I love Medicare and Social Security but there must be some tax reform.

I give zero craps about the "deficit and debt", and you shouldn't either. Nor should literally anybody who is working 40+ hours a week to make ends meet. ALL countries have debt. There is nothing wrong with having a debt. Even if we eradicated ALL the debt tomorrow, my life would be EXACTLY THE SAME. Not even one single solitary thing would change for me, or anybody else in the working class. It's just another Boogeyman to fearmonger about. Just another EXCUSE to defund anything and everything that helps the people. There is no way to get rid of it, and even if we did they would simply find more excuses to do nothing for us.

Mr. Ryan doesn't understand---and neither do you, dear comment reader---that our "debt" is itself printed money. Printed in the form of a "bond" (or "treasury security", technically) which is a large-denomination U.S. bill that earns some nominal interest. If our politicians are going to get confused like this maybe we just limit ourselves to issuing ordinary currency to cover the deficit, instead of issuing these interest-bearing bonds that confuse everyone.

I didn't hear anything on military spending. Also, "lizards on a tredmill" is explicitly misleading. This man is educated.

It's very disingenuous.

[@jaypeast2071]

He's trying to pinpoint things that are clearly not needed. He believes there are so.e studies of value. He says as much. But there are many studies that are not at a great level of importance . You're being disingenuous if you can't relate to that fact. Some of the studies are good and useful. Others, though they may be important in some respects, do not need to use tax money. Especially not at certain times. And when government officials politic their policies like people need insurance , food, shelter. No matter what the absurdity of the study sometimes the study is not needed.
