My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
Rand PaulWe don't have enough money to rebuild our own country if we're rebuilding everyone else's countries.
Rand PaulI will continue to fight for legislation that forces Congress to read the bills! I will fight for a vote on my bill that calls for a waiting period for each page of legislation. I will continue to object when Congress sticks special interest riders on bills in the dead of night! And if Congress refuses to obey its own rules, if Congress refuses to pass a budget, if Congress refuses to read the bills, then I say: Sweep the place clean. Limit their terms and send them home!
