'There is no money': Rand Paul opposes further relief spending
by Spencer Neale  | May 05, 2020 04:36 PM


A top Republican known for his conservative fiscal policy says he is against the U.S. government spending money it cannot repay to bail out those negatively affected by the coronavirus.

Speaking to a masked C-SPAN reporter, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul reiterated his position on spending, saying he's against borrowing from China to fund another round of economic relief for small businesses underwater because of the coronavirus.

"As far as any more relief, though, there is no money," Paul said. "There's no rainy day fund. There's no savings. I mean, there really is no money. It means we'd have to borrow money from China and other countries, and I'm not for spending more money that we don't have."

Don't generally like Rand Paul, but he is right about this.  In fact, we can't afford the giveaways already done.  Enough is enough. 

And by the way, Rand -- put on a mask.  LOL
