    This right here. Good post, sir.

    "In Afghanistan, we spend about $50 billion each year. Where does the money go? For troops and weapons, of course, but billions have also been spent on roads, bridges, and schools for Afghanistan. Seems a shame that bridges, roads, and schools crumble here while we persist in nation-building abroad. Maybe it’s time to do some nation-building at home."

    Exactly. But let us be outraged over grape soda and SNAP cards.

    I will not argue with the question Rand presented.

    However what is the only function the gubment is actually mandated to do?
    Protect the citizens of the country aka fund a military.

    All the social crap especially WIC, SNAP, No child left behind, MEDICARE, Social Security, on and on none of it should be a function of government.
    Yup, he's crazy...

    Maybe you can only focus on one thing.....???? I don't know. But if we weren't spending 50B in AFG per year we could come close I'd guess to feeding this entire nation, at least the people that actually NEED help and still spend less money. Just a thought. Related issues?... I'm gonna say yes. I'd assume you could put two and two together since you'd still have 6 fingers left over. Maybe not?

    You, and several other people, (apparently) missed my point in that whole debacle. Wow.

    That is my point, many seen to think the budget crisis is just welfare or it is the most heated. Paul's point here will not get much traction among conservatives. Bush is no better than Obama on debt and Trump and this Republican Congress is doing the same.

    I got your point but you lost it when you keep going and wanted a homecoming king vote off. As I told you before don't try so hard.

    By "try so hard", you mean defend myself when people call me out? That's what you mean?

    I'm so confused after reading that ten page abortion of a thread. You're not black? Is your name even Bart?

    Bush was not quite as bad, but your point is made; the difference between a classic conservative and neo-conservative is primarily one of fiscal responsibility. I'm not smart enough to know the solution to our national debt and deficit spending, but it's sad that those who are [Ron and Rand Paul are] don't have a wider audience.

    If you can do basic third grade addition, subtraction and know what a negative number is then you're smart enough.

    The problem isn't smarts. It's the testicular fortitude to stand up and say, "No you can't have a candy bar and if you throw a tantrum I'll leave you in the store."

    Job security in Washington has created this problem.

    I remember working for an environmental laboratory as a young officer in the Air Force. 80% of the staff was civilian and 80% of them were as worthless as tits on a boar hog. When Clinton started in on the budget, the Generals knew where to trim the fat. I hated that Slick Willy was my CIC but as a taxpayer, that was beautiful shit to watch. Rand Paul gets it.
