Rand Paul Stands Up to the Status Quo
WASHINGTON, D.C.- Sen. Rand Paul today proved
that he is the only candidate willing to stand up to the Washington
Machine and put an end to its out-of-control spending. A vote for the FY
2016 Short-Term Continuing Resolution is a vote to continue on with
status quo spending levels and place more debt on our children and
grandchildren.
Sen. Paul has led the charge against Planned Parenthood and
introduced legislation to defund it. This Short-Term Continuing
Resolution, however, does everything except resolve the problem-- it is a
canard. This 'resolution' will add $400 billion in new debt over the
full year and a $10 billion increase over the budget caps.
Sen. Paul has never voted for a continuing resolution or omnibus
spending bill. Since taking office in 2010, he has vowed to vote against
more government spending. He will vote no and will do so every time the
Washington Machine tries to implement a big-spending Continuing
Resolution with zero scrutiny, zero cuts, zero accountability and more
debt.
He is not afraid to stand alone in Washington as one of the only
senators willing to fix our debt and end big government spending. Today,
Sen. Paul will stand up to the status quo by opposing the Short-Term
Continuing Resolution.
