Paul is feigning a “principled stand”
Against deficits, bolst’ring his brand.
But his vote to cut tax
Helped the deficits wax;
His is really a “Don’t Spend” demand.

I agree with Senator Paul. We have got to stop this reckless spending and going further and further into debt. It would be disastrous for any of us to behave this way in our households. We would end up with foreclosures and bankruptcies. And yet our leaders, who should be setting a good example of responsible monetary policies, are doing just the opposite.
