My litmus test for the One, Big, Not-so-beautiful Bill was simple: Does it grow our national debt? The answer is yes. The deficit in 2026 will be $270 billion more than it was this year. That's why I voted against this bill.
Rand Paul explains his opposition to the bill based on its impact on national debt.

It was bad advice. It was terrible advice. We never should have hired him to be a public health expert.
He’s the most faithful to the Constitution of any of the members of the House. He’s fiscally conservative, and I think he cares a lot about Kentucky.
We're $2 trillion in the hole and just an additional cost like this, I'm not for it.
