533 voted for the Great Heist, and only 2 Voted against it

Rand Paul (Dentist), & Thomas Massie (Farmer) ,both of Kentucky, voted NO. The last 2 responsible politicians left in DC. Sad.

These men both have solid characters, and are fine family men. No sexual assault allegations like Biden and Trump. Neither have been divorced.

I'd ditch Donald Trump & Mike Pence for a Paul-Massie ticket in a heartbeat.

I realize most here don't give a flip about massive deficit spending, but I just thought you should know we still have 2 decent men in Washington DC standing amongst 533 corrupt thieves.

Trust me, they are not getting invited to ANYTHING in Washington DC. They are social & political outcasts.

I wish they had America's support. IMHO they deserve it more than anyone else in the DC swamp.

We say we want politicians who are fiscally responsible, & have high character, but those 2 traits are not very important to us...let's be honest with ourselves.

We got what we deserve. Shame on us all.

We crossed that line back on March 25th, and as I recall the Republicans were all tooting their horns about it. That was the largest-ever economic stimulus package in U.S. history, adding up to 10% of the US GDP.

Republicans are only fiscally conservative when a Democrat is in the White House.

What do you expect? America is a plutocracy. All that “freedom and democracy†stuff they taught you in school was BS.

I don't know if this still holds true or not, but it used to be that Republicans didn't mind spending money for the military and law-and-order related programs, and Democrats didn't (and obviously still don't) mind spending money for "welfare" type of programs.

Personally, I am in favor of cutting spending across the board!

Sadly, that has been true for decades.

Ron Paul was my guy in 2012 and Rand was who I wanted in 2016. I have no idea why Republicans can so blatantly claim Libertarianist principals but virtually never live up to them. It's sad.

Neither of the big two parties with their stranglehold on power are worth a damn.

If the Dems would run a moderate who has a proven record of fiscal responsibility, and who isnt losing his mental faculties...down goes Trump! The door is wide open for the Dems to walk through.
