    When both parties are happy, they're usually looting the Treasury. And that's what this bill does.

        If he's covering the $1.5 trillion that adds the debt, dentists make a lot more than I thought.

        Tell me how less revenue adds to debt. If I quit my job does my credit card balance suddenly increase? No. That only happens when I choose to spend more. Tax cuts *CANNOT* add to the debt. Only spending can.

        So you use your credit card to buy groceries for your family. You pay your credit card w/ $ you make at your job. You then quit your job. You continue to use your credit card to buy the groceries that your kids need to eat. How does your credit card balance not increase?

        Of course the balance increases, but not *because* you lost your job. It increases *because* you chose to go back to the grocery store and purchase food you had no money to pay for. Spending caused the deficit. Not the lack of income.

        You are spending to buy food. How do you obtain food if you do not purchase it?

        And even accepting that food's necessary for a human to survive, and buying it without money to pay for it would require you to go into debt. It again is not the lack of money that *caused* the debt. It's still the choice to buy.

        So can you explain why you voted for the last tax cut that added to the deficit?

        STAAAAAHP!!! IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN BRAIN POWER, STOP! Look at the success of NC and other States that have cut taxes and reap'd rewards! Austerity works, but you much also cut Federal spending!

        Here’s a novel idea, how about a bill that stops congress from getting paid when there’s a shutdown instead of everyone else?

        Your concern seems disingenuous given your support for the tax bill, Senator.

        RT @notwokieleaks Rand Paul voted for the tax cut without having any agreed upon cuts to offset the deficit increases and now he's grandstanding so he can pretend to care about fiscal sanity https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/961741550589038594 …
