You have a choice. Keep shooting heroin into your veins and ultimately die. Or stop shooting heroin into your veins and go through excruciating withdrawals and a life of dealing with reality.
Americans are addicted. Republicans and Democrats, addicted. Even conservatives who claim otherwise, addicted.
Addiction leads to rock bottom all of a sudden. At some point no B-2's or aircraft carriers, no homeless shelters, no Social Security, no Forest Service, no teaching hospital, no Mars lander, no grad students, no VA, etc.

We're in the same church, just different seats on this one. Sometimes you have to be able to distinguish between voting on principle or voting for theater. Some times these actors vote one way because they know they will lose so it looks good to their constituents, or vice versa, voting for something they know can't pass. You really have to have the whole picture to know what's going on.
This is part of their bag of tricks to confuse the voters and give themselves cover. It's why debating on this board is fun but ultimately silly. Most of us don't have a real clue what's going on, self included.

I agree. The hypocrisy is glaring. Rand is the only principled member of the Senate now. I had my doubts for a while..but..more and more he is becoming like his father.

We need to sit down and figure out how to stop spending. There are only two ways, military and entitlements. Both must be cut.
As far as military, we are spending bazillions developing the most deadly and amazing weapons we've ever seen....the plans of which are then promptly stolen by our enemies at negligible cost. We then have to spend gazillions more to counteract our own stuff. Rinse and repeat.
Everyone knows about entitlements.
How do you wean off of that without harming defense or the economy?
It is going to come back down to earth someday. Its just a matter of how fast and at what angle.

Well, we do need to bring the prices of food, medicine and medical care down. The prices for all three are so high.

We do all the research and design on miniaturized warheads, the Chinese end up with them.
We do all the research and design on the F-22 then cancel production. Then the Chinese do a dupe.
We develop machines to create super-silent submarine propellers and then let the Russians get hold of the blueprints.
We develop drone technology and the frickin' Iranians hijack it and convince it to land at their airport.
We are developing their stuff for them at taxpayer expense while our politicians are spying on each other.

Amazing you can’t see that.
Uhhh, I'm largely with Paul on this. We can't say one thing, then do another when capable. That'd be
Hypocrisy.
Did you bitchh and moan about zerO's soaring deficits and debt? As in near 10 Trillion in eight short years that we'll all be paying for til we're dead with little or nothing in return?
Errrr, no.
Are you leftists now feigning OUTRAGE!!! over 1.5 Trillion over the next 10 YEARS?!? Errrr, apparently, yes.
So, my friend, what would you call that? \

Do we pay down on the interest or is that being compounded too?
And JMU Puuhhhhleaze. Yes you can’t ***** and moan about 9 trillion and thn add 1.5 trillion in a tax cut. If you cut one tax you have to find another area to balance out revenue. Factor in unfounded liabilities. I listened Jim Drunkenmiller on our unfounded liabilities. No one is serious about it. For your comparison between Obama’s stimulus. That was deficit spending to get us out of a contraction. A pretty severe one. Here, not so much. This looks like a campaign favor.

Let’s try some basic math here, shall we?
What would be the larger culprit in a comparison of:
9.5 trillion widgets/over 8 years
1.5 trillion widgets/over 10 years?
Your faux OUTRAGE!!! Falls on deaf ears.
Much like your rambling, babbling, manic diatribes about the fake, Clinton sponsored, “dossier” and the entire ROOOOSKIES!!! ruse.
Just silly.
