NYC adult home residents asked to repay FEMA aid

20. 'Monumental screw ups' criticized by Rand Paul? Try his out:

This pales in comparison to Rand's agenda:

Yeah, we know why Aqua Buddha didn't go for the VAWA and pushes personhood laws, too.

And then his National Right to Work Law?

Yup, Ayn Rand's rotting corpse is proud of her spiritual kindred.

John Galt and William Hicks are likewise proud of he and his running buddies and their giggling over default so they could 'manage catastrophe.'

Debt Ceiling: 'Chaotic' choices on 100 million payments

Rand Paul says default can be 'framed as a reasonable idea' and Tom Coburn wants to default to face a 'managed catastrophe.'

Still Standing With Rand?

August 26, 2013 by JM Ashby

Senator Rand Paul says the obligation of society to care for its less-well-off population is a form of servitude and government overreach.

“As humans, yeah, we do have an obligation to give people water, to give people food, to give people health care,” Paul allowed, “but it’s not a right because once you conscript people and say, ‘Oh, it’s a right,’ then really you’re in charge, it’s servitude, you’re in charge of me and I’m supposed to do whatever you tell me to do.”

If you’re such a rugged individualist that you view humane society as a burden or form of servitude, I don’t believe you have any business serving as a member of Congress or even the city mayor. And this call to free ourselves from the chains of the SNAP and Medicaid programs comes in the form of a pitch for his medical practice which, I’m guessing, probably relies on customers receiving some form of government aide to stay in business.

If you can get over your contempt for Rand Paul for a moment, a feat I struggle with, you may realize this is somewhat amusing in that a man who may be a Republican presidential contender in the near future believes access to food and water are not a right.

I could see today’s Republican base running away with that idea, but I don’t think the party establishment will like the results at the ballot box.

Tough Love For The Frail And Sick

October 04, 2010 by digby

If the world was sane, this would be the end of the Rand Paul campaign:

A new video today catches Rand Paul repeatedly supporting a $2,000 Medicare deductible on Kentucky seniors – despite his claims just last week that such a statement was a “lie.”

Because it's important the elderly people with dozens of health problems be more responsible with their health care dollars. We certainly can't expect people like Dr Paul to
take that role. After all, they "deserve to make a comfortable living" and can't be expected to ensure that these frail old people aren't overusing the system. These "greedy geezers" need to take more responsibility for themselves and maybe a little of that Paulite "tough love" will snap them into reality.

By the way, the average social security check is $1,000 a month.

Mr. RTW and Personhood laws doesn't give a flying fig about these people in the OP, nor does he defending on DU, no more than he deserve O2.
