Senator Rand Paul, (R) Kentucky, was interviewed this morning on Glenn Beck's radio show about the tax cut package that's being debated in both the media and Congress for an intended passage some time before the Christmas holiday. What Sen. Paul is all worked up about is the actual lack of fiscal conservatism being encountered by nearly every Republican Senator regarding the tax cut package and the spending that's happening beyond limits already set in the budget.
It's a classic case of what's wrong in "the swamp" when it comes to our growing national debt; spending beyond our means which will some day bite us in the rear with very painful consequences. However, establishment Republicans, the majority in both the House and the Senate, are acting as though that's not anything to be concerned about.
I urge my readers to use the link to this page about this interview and listen to this fairly short interview. Sen. Rand Paul speaks so fast that Glenn has to slow him down a few times to clarify what he's said, but I believe you'll find this rather amazing to hear how he explains what he's up against regarding upholding any sense of fiscal responsibility by his fellow Senators.
Footnote: For those who've missed the debate held on CNN between Sen. Sanders (D) and Sen. Cruz (R) on the proposed tax cut package now before Congress, I provide the link to it here. (I believe one of the best points made occurs at the 10:00 point.)
