Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he will hold up a $1 trillion “minibus” spending package that needs to pass by the end of the day Friday to avoid triggering a partial government shutdown.

“I will hold it up primarily because we’re bankrupt, and it’s a terrible idea to keep spending money at this rate,” Paul told The Hill on Wednesday.

“The spending bills before us will lead to a $1.5 trillion deficit for the year. We’re borrowing about $1 trillion every three months. It’s an alarming pace of accumulation of debt,” he said.

“My opposition to this will be based on how much” the package would add to the U.S. debt, which now stands at $34.5 trillion, he added.

1. The fucker don't give a rat shit

If TFG was the president!!

[Blue Idaho]

2. Always the stinker

Always the asshole. Now he just wants the spotlight without doing any work.

[kimbutgar]

3. I guess Putin gave him his marching orders to hold up the budget.

I so wish someone opens the door and exposes these unamercian Russian agents!

[marble falls]

4. One might think that citizens in a state that has so many people on social programs and social security ...

... and other forms of federal pogram money would remind Rand Paul to tread his libertarian BS lightly.

5. He's a carpet bagger there

and like his father, was born in Pittsburgh, PA. His father picked up and left for TX and infested there, and he picked up and moved to KY to destroy that.

6. Tribble boy isn't getting enough attention.

An interstellar fluff ball or a Senator from Kentucky? You decide.

7. His neighbor should be appointed Sergeant at arms in the Senate.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. Should have hit him harder..

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Good idea

[republianmushroom]

9. Rand Paul forgets he voted for the trump tax cut for the wealthy.

If we are bankrupt that is part of the reason.
Now he is going to claim he has some "morals". What a joke.

[Turbineguy]

10. He needs his ass kicked. Again.

[canuckledragger]

11. And the lying asshole never said a peep when Trump added 8 trillion to the US debt.

Tells you all you need to know about the partisan hack.

[Midnight Writer]

12. Shutting down the government, even partially, costs us more than it saves us.

And Rand Paul knows this.

All he knows how to do is pull stunts and promote gimmicks that do nothing to advance our country.

[Mr.Bill]

13. We need to get rid of congressional rules

that allow one person to shut things down. That sounds like the opposite of Democracy to me.

[Bayard]

15. The national debt is $34.5 trillion, you say?

Which president was it that made most of that debt, Randy? But you're going to make the rest of us pay for that, by golly!

[2naSalit]

16. Another ruzzian asset...

Can we get his neighbor to beat him up again?

[4lbs]

17. Hey Rand, is it OK if we hold up your paycheck too? I mean it is a terrible idea to continue to spend money

on someone that doesn't do a damn thing to help the people of this country.

So.... F U.

18. Kentucky, you can do better.

Please do better. Elect someone else.
