    Rand Paul to @jaketapper: “I’m actually a fiscal conservative who doesn’t want to throw the kitchen sink at the wall,” adding that “$40 billion” and “$21 million per mile” for Trump’s border wall is “outrageous”

        It would be a federal monument to racism. It would stand as a symbol, thus not a waste of money to certain parties who enjoy freshly bleached linens upon their person.

        What is interesting though is that Rand Paul voted to give billions to the wealthy in the tax bill while adding trillions to the debt! If this is fiscal conservatism we need to revisit the definition!

        Trump shutdown the government b/c he broke his word that Mexico would pay for the wall. Now he expects Americans to pay for it, and he's taking hostages until they do. #TrumpShutdown #GOPshutdown

        Agreed, @RandPaul. But you just passed a tax cut that will explode the deficit while giving the vast majority of tax savings to the wealthiest Americans. How was that fiscally conservative?

        That label went out with Iran-Contra Regan. They've been playing the long game and followers still haven't woke up. Sheesh!

        He's holding US hostage and blackmailing US for contracting graft. Why's no one saying it? Are we just going to pay the gangster who wants to sell us "protection."

        When Sen Rand Paul is the logical one at the table, that shows exactly how serious this divide has become. Oh dear oh dear.

        Yet blowing up the deficit to the tune of $1.5T with a bogus middle income tax bill is OK?

        Ask trump - again - why he thinks it's important to build a wall along border with Mexico (unless he thinks his construction company will get paid for doing it) when his buddies the Russians invade us daily electronically in circumstances where no wall has been able to stop them.
