"Senator Rand Paul’s quixotic one-man filibuster on Thursday night rightly dramatized the debt-increasing features of the spending agreement, but the same point applies to the tax bill (for which Sen. Paul voted)."

Sean Hannity has made 30% of America believe ( and 4 or 5 of you !!!)

that Trump is responsible for the 8 years that Obama’s stock market went up,

yet Obama is responsible for the past 2 week’s in which it has collapsed.

This budget deal is shameful

I’m a complete hypocrite.

I just gave rich people a $1 trillion tax break and

NOW I’m worried about the deficit.

I’m depending on you not being

able to do simple addition

to maintain my credibility.

I'm voting against this $300 billion spending hike. Fiscal responsibility is more than a talking point to trot out when the other guys are in charge. Let’s be conservative no matter who’s in charge, no matter who’s in the White House, or who controls each chamber of Congress

Not a fan of Rand Paul but kudos to him for pointing out the fiscal recklessness of the budget deal just passed.

Trump's rules of evidence:
Central Park Five: guilty despite DNA evidence exonerating
Obama: Possibly born in Kenya. Worth investigating.
Raphael Cruz. Might have killed JFK. Worth investigating
Rob Porter: "He says he's innocent."

what about the deficit he voted for creating with the tax bill

don't worry i see the bad and the good...together they represent a big fiscal expansion at a time of full employment...not other major economy has ever done anything like this

correction: we did something similar in the 1960s when LBJ financed the Vietnam War with deficit financing...also at a time of full employment

what about the deficit he voted for creating with the tax bill

His position is that we should both take and spend less of the citizens' money. Seems like he voted for that.

The Trump administration continues to be a twisted imitation of the Reagan years.

Mexican immigrants are rapists and murderers, but a man facing multiple separate allegations of domestic violence must be presumed innocent at all costs.

The Trump administration continues to be a twisted imitation of the Reagan years.

Not that twisted -- there was a senseless tax cut, union bashing, disregard for the eco system , wink and nod racism and illegal dealings with foreign entities.
Not to mention colluding with an adversary hoping to tilt the election.

Reagan was actually a test run for the Palin --- I mean, Trump Administration

His position is that we should both take and spend less of the citizens' money. Seems like he voted for that.

His position as it has always been was getting Rand Paul on TV

What an ineffective non entity.
Irrelevant is the word I am looking for. Rand is irrelevant

We should admit the sad fact that @realDonaldTrump

is a functional illiterate.

He can’t read well enough to understand what he’s reading.

He hasn't convinced me of that.,.. but I'm quite sure based on your posting history that you think the same way - just reverse the names

The continued insistence that the tax cut is for "rich people" is a losing argument, and it so ****ing lame.

You don't create a deficit by taxing less. You create a deficit by spending more money than you have... and by the way

fake news. why do you love spreading it so much

you continue to display how stupid you are how little you regard principles

[Hawk]

There is actually a thoughtful discussion that we should have - as a country - about people like Rob Porter and the personality disorders they are diseased with, so it's tragic (and typical) that we've manged to ham-handedly reduce the situation down to a referendum on the Trump administration's HR practices.
