Outstanding proposal. National defense should be the only function of the Federal Government.

If his dad doesn’t run for President this next election I think Rand needs to. This guy should be President one day.

However, most people don’t realize that the majority of the Department of Energy funding goes to the Nuclear weapons program and weapons cleanup program from 70 years of production. It used to be the Atomic Energy Commission, but was put under the new Department of Energy, when Carter created that department. So that part of the Department will have to stay. Another agency such as the AEC would have to be created to manage the nuclear weapons program.

I welcome this budget. As an experienced roof thatcher and adobe mason, I would be gainfully employed in the new housing economy that these cuts would help create.

Rand Paul is another in the long line of fools sent to the Senate of the United States from the Great State o Kentucky. Another Racist moronic Ass who just doesn’t like the Direction the Country is going. He didn’t mind when George Bush was driving us into the Depression, but elect a Black President well that a bridge to far for these Tea party types, RACIST A**HOLES!!!!!!! That s this clowns Politics the politics of Hate, F**k Rand Paul an those like Him…..AN NO THIS CLOWN OR HIS FATHER WILL EVER BE PRESIDENT!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!

If you don’t understand that the Paul’s libertarian leanings are sincere and lifelong then you don’t follow politics at all. You realize Rand Paul’s first Tea Party speech was in 2007- when George Bush was President and everyone thought Hillary Clinton was a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination.

Hey Rand don’t you think its a good idea to get rid of that pesky 13th amendment too???…..scrap that and big business will thrive, talk about an economic boom……that’s the ticket…..RUN RAND RUN !!!!!

This is why I am a liberal

Cutting the budget is not that hard. Most of the departments Paul wants to end wouldn’t even be missed by most of the American people. The hard part is the lying attacks promoted by the democrats trying to protect all their friends and relatives that work in those departments. Then the mass attack from the left-wing media will be non-stop. Not many have the guts to do it.
Just look at the way the media always gives credence to the democrat arguement about Social Security.
No one is proposing ANY cuts to benifits of anyone on Social Security now or people close to retirement. Yet the democrats like Harry Reid will talk about the cuts to the “poor social security recipients.” It is a total lie and the media will cover for him.

Unfortunately guys like this will become popular because it sounds nice.. but put into action, the US will probably become a third world country because we’ve been taken care of for so long. You have to slowly change things over time if you want to have any real effect, all at once and you’re likely to have a lashback. Rand needs to learn that.

or maybe a backlash o_O (little hungover here)

The reason you are a liberal is because you are stupid. How much money the rich make has NOTHING to do with you or the poor. It is NONE of your business how much they make.
The money the rich make takes NOTHING from you. You are greedy and envious of others and because you are a failure you blame it on them.

Democrats like to pat themselves on the back because they passed Medicare. Medicare is a disaster and Obamacare is just making it worse.
This video will give just some of the problems as explained by a democrat that has to work with Medicare.

And if I may, the reason you pontificate about the wonders of the rich on here is you are the typical right wing radio listener. You are a delusional nobody. I imagine you have lived a series of failures. How’d your Mexican restaurant do?

But you have been brainwashed into thinking somehow, someway you’ll become a billionaire.

Guess what Gordo. King of Portage is as good as it’ll ever get.

Ironic that you would use a photo of royalty, while concluding massive government is good.

Gave me a chuckle.

This budget is the only measure from Washington with any sort of fiscal responsibility. It won’t happen, and that is the point. Franklin was right. People realized long ago they can vote themselves money.

Love Paul and the Judge.

Can we get Chris Matthews — who always says that Republicans never offer specifics about spending cuts — to comment? Oh, I forgot, Chris is too busy ridiculing Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, Michael Steele, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, etc. etc. to deal with trivial issues such as the federal deficit. Sorry to disturb you Chris. You can go back to your minutiae and trivialities.

The proposal would cut most discretionary spending in many departments, as well as full departments themselves, including what Judge Napolitano described as the “unconstitutional” Departments of Commerce, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy.

He’s right. They are unconstitutional.

The Judge has an interesting show, but it really seems like when he says something is “unconstitutional,” it really means “I don’t support it.” I just don’t take it seriously anymore, especially since he’s constantly saying entire agencies are unconstitutional. It’s overkill. Sen. Paul talks a good game for libertarian ideologues but you know when the chips are down he won’t vote to cut any jobs that might affect Kentucky. And no, federal workers aren’t making a product. The government isn’t a product that you sell. Education isn’t a product. Regulation isn’t a product. That doesn’t mean the work they do isn’t useful. I mean, these guys are smart; I don’t know why they’re not trying to educate viewers about how the government actually works instead of throwing red meat to the ideologues who think cutting federal workers (and support contractors) jobs won’t have any effects in the real world.

Rand Paul is making more and more sense – never thought I’d say that. He is one of the few guys that is actually crunching the numbers and looking at what will really affect the budget. He’s not a partisan hack and has shown he’s willing to work with anyone who has the same goal as him – he’s gone on so far to even call Al Franken a mentor.

Admittedly, he’s got crazy ideas and says some things that isolate people, but he is one of the few guys who isn’t looking at the budget problem and throwing rocks from a distance. He’s actually trying to tackle it head on.

Truth is truth no matter who says it.

There was a time during the last decade when all I heard after Mister Bush sent the budget soaring was “Bill Clinton had a balanced budget.” “Bill Clinton had a balanced budget”. Now today, I don’t hear that anymore.

So I propose we just take it back to the days of old Bill, let’s party like it’s 1999!

Balanced Budgets and Lewinsky’s for everybody!

Rand Paul should watch the film STRIKE by Sergei Eisenstein. Pissing on the poor has its consequences. Perhaps Glenn Beck’s communist revolution will come into fruition if Rand Paul has his way.

Hey Rand, thanks for the sound bite that ensures you wont be re-elected.

‘preciate it.

Well, for starters, he could deal with the fact that Kentucky receives approx. $1.50 from the Federal government for every $1 it sends back.

His own state is a welfare state, by those standards. Is Kentucky making a “useful product that anybody wants”??

We have the EPA so we don’t have to wear face masks just to be able to breathe in the city.

We have the EPA so we don’t have disease infested water flowing through our streets and into our rivers.

We have the EPA so that the industrial plant near your house can’t dump industrial sludge into your groundwater.

The EPA is quite the OPPOSITE of what you say it is….it makes many jobs possible that would not otherwise be.

Also, Rand Paul seems to be one of the better one of these politicians, other being Ron Paul. Rest just use words, and do take no action, except defund 10 million dollar from NPR, and send it overseas.. or give it to one of their friends in the departments.

I doubt the stats have changed much in the last few years….those states at the top haven’t exactly gotten richer.

Well, considering Obama understated the deficits by $2.3 trillion, this might have to be the plan…

WASHINGTON (AP) – A new assessment of President Barack Obama’s budget released Friday says the White House underestimates future budget deficits by more than $2 trillion over the upcoming decade.
The estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that if Obama’s February budget submission is enacted into law it would produce deficits totaling $9.5 trillion over 10 years—an average of almost $1 trillion a year.

Obama’s budget saw deficits totaling $7.2 trillion over the same period.

Well, sure…it’s not harder for your state to be more in debt when you don’t have federal dollars flowing in to help you.

I think Rand Paul could solve the energy problems in Kentucky by using all the impoverished in his state as fuel. I know it sounds terrible, but think about it. Wouldn’t they be better off serving the greater good than living off government programs? Then they could at least have SOME dignity! Rand Paul for President!

Since the ban on DDT, the World Health Organization reports 225 million cases of malaria, killing around 781,000 people EACH YEAR. The majority of deaths are of young children in sub-Saharan Africa. Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is commonly associated with poverty, and can indeed be a cause of poverty and a major hindrance to economic development.

But rest easy, the EPA refuses to lift the ban on DDT that is responsible for ZERO deaths ever. Friggin’ Democrits……….

Haha…seriously? You’re citing Breitbart? I tell you what, I’ll believe that source as long as you’ll accept it when I link to Huffington Post or ACORN. LOL

You are not that dumb are you? Did you notice the (AP) at the top of the story, that means it came from the left-wing Associated Press. Breitbart just posted their story. Save this crap about websites that post other peoples stories. If a stroy originates from Huff Po or Mediamatters then there is every reason to doubt it. If it just a story posted there by another news source it might be reliable.

WHERE WERE YOU UNAMERICANS WHEN BUSHIE AND HIS SQUAD WERE RUINING “OUR” AMERICA! DID ALL THIS JUST POP IN YOUR HEAD BECAUSE A BLACK MAN IS IN “YOUR” WHITE HOUSE! YOU NEED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!

And you are a disgusting racist.

4 Trillion is a good start, however, we all need to understand that even then we are only restetting the clock to 2008 spending levels. Once this first 4 Trillion is cut we need to cut an additional 6 Trillion. Then, and only then will we be in a position to again be a the economic giant we are meant to be.

Two Quotes:

” Reagan proved deficits don’t matter.” – Dick Cheney to the Secretary of Treasure when the Secretary voiced concern that tax cuts in the high hundreds of billions will create huge deficits

“I want to be in Kentucky when the end of the world comes, because it’s always 20 years behind.” – Mark Twain

I suggest that we take a good look at the 2003 GOP-pushed through Medicare Part D bill that pays out $7.2 TRILLION over the next 75 years. Thing is, the Bush, Cheney, and the GOP didn’t come up for a way to pay for it. Ooops. That’s right. Social Security- a pay-as-you-go system costs about $5.9T over the next 75 years. The GOP’s 2003 Medicare Part D…more than that…and no way to pay for it. Nice job, guys. Reeeeal responsible.

Yes, good post. Cutting the spending though, is only helpful if accompanied by reduction in regulation, manipulation, and the resulting corruption that cannot be avoided when they are imposed. Freedom and self-determination are the roots of the capitalism that made America great, but have decayed at the hands of the anti-Americans who prefer to sell us out by increasing their addicted voter base enslaved in welfare and dependency.

Nobody would deny the medicare Part D was a profoundly stupid plan, along with a lot of other wasteful and redundant and unsustainable programs pushed forward by republicans, the point is, today and tomorrow is what matters and democrats are the ones firmly behind new and unsustainable spending. Whether you are a dem or a repub, common sense and a basic grasp of 3rd grade math will point out we can’t NOT cut all the bullsh*t or we’ll end up a third world country.

Unless you want everyone livin’ in a van down by the river, you better get behind spending cuts sooner than later.

I agree we can’t keep seeing , “throw money at it” as a solution, and we do have to cut spending, eliminate wasteful programs, etc. But I haven’t seen a lot of GOP solutions.

While I appreciate Rand’s directness and being willing to take a clear stand, we also need to look at real world consequences for what he proposes on paper.

The US was a disgusting developing country before the EPA???

Well, to a degree. If you go back over the last 100 years, the types of pollution and amounts of pollution emitted from single sources was far more toxic and dirty…..we only noticed it less because the population was smaller and more spread out.

There’s a reason we don’t have diseases like cholera and dystentery running rampant in our country anymore.

Even now you can go to other countries abroad where it’s not even safe to drink the water…even some places in Mexico. It’s because they don’t have the strict regulations about water quality/treatment that we have.

Nevermind that those countries also have little or no health care infrastructure in their countries. What about malaria stats in the US?? How come you didn’t cite those since the ban of DDT?

Rand Paul should watch the film STRIKE by Sergei Eisenstein. Pissing on the poor has its consequences. Perhaps Glenn Beck’s communist revolution will come into fruition if Rand Paul has his way.

Yeah, and that glorious October Revolution gave the world Lenin, Stalin, the starvation of Ukraine, the Gulag, millions of innocent people murdered and human suffering beyond belief along with the enslavement of millions of others, with the slobbering support of Democrat Idol, FDR.

If that’s what you are hoping for, there are a few places left on Earth, where you can live your dream. Try North Korea, China or Cuba for starters. And when you are there talk about their politicians as you do about Rand Paul.

Right now, the EPA currently regulates the following chemicals in Drinking water:

-Arsenic
-Lead
-Mercury
-Copper
-Radionuclides

You’re right, Rand Paul. Let’s get rid of those pesky regulations that prevent businesses from dumping these things into our water. Sheesh.

But then you would complain even MORE about how TV undermines our values…. Would you like to see some boobs and hear the F-bomb while you’re watching TV with your kids?

There were no F-bombs and boobs used on TV before the FCC. And certainly not before unionized teachers brain washed children to grow up to be filthy-mouthed rappers and liberals like Bill Maher.

And judges Obama (slobbers over HALF black Obama) not by the content of his charter but by the color of hi skin. Somewhere Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is weeping and rolling in his grave.

Um, what point do you think you’re making? That the FCC caused or allowed all this profanity? Times change and societies change, as disturbing as that is.
Yeah, back in the 50s we had good wholesome family TV, but couldn’t have black leading roles of civil rights. Ahhh the good ole days.

IMHO, Congress-Folks are Clueless due to most never having to run a business or manage a budget.

Anyone who has ever dealt with a budget crisis does not pick and choose particular items to cut but rather does a centralized approach with an across the board cut. If we consider a company or our government; the edict would be for each Department Manager to cut the necessary spending to achieve a balanced budget.

If that is too challenging; then just give a directive of a 15% to 20% spending cut across the board & empower
the Managers of the Individual Departments to determine the details. If that is still too challenging for some
then, as Rand has said, eliminate the entire department due to incompetance.

And I know in advance that Liberal Squeelers will hollar about the Entitlements & that children will starve but that should be the responsibility of the church/family and not left to a Dense DC B.S. Bureaucrat. Our money would be more wisely handled right at home via church/family.

this is another example of a poor successor to a famous father’s record of loyalty to country and dut to people. GOVERNMENT is an absolute necessity to a civilization. there is not society without rules, but Paul doesn’t want rules and he doesn’t want the policing or enforcement of rules which the government provides. The problem with his “free for all” conduct is that it leads to chaos and mayhem. Even GOD knew that man could not survive his own greed and arrogance without rules for the road. Thus the TEN commandments. Paul lives in a dream world, much like GReenspan when he just couldnt’ believe that WALL STREETERS would not act with integrity and police themselves and thus make the market safe. We all know where that philosophy has lead us. AMERICA is not broke, the republicans are tax adverse and unwilling to accept responsibility for the decline of the democracy. Actually, the republcans are doing everything they can to remake our democracy into a plutocracy. Every time the rich and powerful gain control, the society of peoples decline and people go hungry and homeless. It really is time for US to take back america. The President said it: change begins at the bottom and WI is the beginning of a new dawning of AMERICA.

Silly little puppet!

I felt there wasn’t enough time to read every 101 comments. Wouldn’t be that surprised if some of them pertained to liberal vs conservative , left wing, vs right wing viewpoints. I’m going for the liberal. What concerns me as a disability advocate if KY Sen. Rand Paul is for cutting programs that effect people with disabilities. It isn’t only fed. govt. its state govts. I know both PA and NJ are proposing drastic cuts to social services. Yeah cuts to social services while business people get all kinds of breaks. One may argue we need to fund business to develop employment. Well that very well may be. However there are people who are disabled, children, especially of low income parents, parent, senior citizens etc who need services to even survive. By the way there are those who receive Medicaid, Foodstamps who are employed. This is perfectly legal. This is true for social security. Its a matter of how much one earns.
I remember back in 2008 there was a bill in the US congress named the “Medicaid Safety Act.” I recall some of the clients I work with wrote to then R. Arlen Spector to help pass the bill. His vote helped it pass. One of the major concerns was persons who needed intensive case managers wouldn’t get them. My blog post on the medicaid safety act was rated #1 in Google blog search.
I feel sorry for the fed. employees since my cousin Barbara is one of them. Employment. Library of Congress.

Since the US Government is, last I heard, borrowing $.40 of every dollar it is paying out, it seems reasonable to quit paying some of it out, or start collection more (this is called taxing). It is the job of the Congress to either cut spending or raise more revenue. If the current members are not up to the job, they need to be replaced.

Senator Paul is correct about the need to cut trillions from the budget and Judge Napolitano is correct in that those departments he mentioned are good places to start. The mission of the Department of Energy, for instance, was to develop alternatives to petroleum fuels; in 45 years, with a budget of some $25 Billion/year, they have NEVER fulfilled their mission, and are not even close to doing so!

If you look at ALL government agencies just as you would an employee working for you, you might be more inclined to discharge them for not doing their job–they are, after all, taking money from YOUR pocket. After all, who among us would keep an employee on our payroll if they were failing to do the job we hired them to do?
;
The ONLY thing I would do differently than what Senator Paul suggests is to hire an independent auditing firm, given BIPARTISAN oversight, to conduct an thorough operational audit on each and every office of Federal government that produced the following data: which Departments, Agencies and Offices were failing in their missions and how they are failing; whether the stated mission is still inherently a governmetnal function (and thus cannot be performed by the private sector), where is money being wasted and how can each Department, Agency and Office be made to operate more efficiently; identifiy all redundancies and recommend how those redundancies might be most efficiently eliminated. Then, let the chips fall where they may–NO SACRED COWS.

I like your idea. The only problem I see is that Democrats are NOT capable of operating in a NON-partisan environment. They don’t draw so much as a single breath that isn’t somehow attached to trashing Republicans,,,,,,,,,even at the detriment of our nation. To Democrats, bi-partisanship, compromise, and fairness, are simply weaknesses to exploit.

Fine. Whatever. Just don’t pretend that Republicans aren’t just as partisan as Democrats.

Hardly, but I wish they were. Republicans are a combination of Charlie Brown-like suckers for Lucy-like Democrat traps. Combined with Republicans who stand with Democrats against America when off-camera, the Republican Party is in a sad state of existence. But in no way are Republicans even in the same league as Demoncrits when it comes to either corruption or destructive partisanship.

Well, it’s a start anyway.

No doubt that some if not most Republicans AND Democrats are continually jockeying for dominance on all committees and anything else done in government BUT it seems that if an equal number of reps from both parties could be nominated by their peers to serve on this bipartisan oversight committee with a commitment to accept and ACT on the recommendations of the auditing firm, some crucial work could be done to keep our country from heading down the toilet of third-worldism. If nothing is done, the US most certainly SHALL become a third world country within a decade. Fortunately, for the Brits, they have seen the handwriting on the wall and have formed a coalition government to save their country. The US MUST do the same.

I believe if enough SANE people like you two seem to be would let your elected representatives know–hell, let’s just make that a DEMAND–that this is what our country needs, it can get done. I am one small voice and so are you, but united we can move mountains. I happen to think our country is worth the effort. Do you?
