Do I understand this correctly? [View all]

Rand Paul had no reservations about voting with the Republicans in favor of the huge tax gift to corporations and billionaires, which will add 1.5 T dollars to the federal deficit over the next ten years.

Now, all of a sudden, he is squawking about deficit spending? Is it because he dislikes deficit spending altogether, or is it just spending on social programs that aid the poor, the elderly, and institutions like public schools, that he is against?
