Rand Paul actually said...

"The problem has been the people. The people do not obey their own rules, meaning Congress does not obey their own rules."

"Tough choices are required on the spending and revenue side of the budget."

"Everybody knows we have this exploding entitlement problem, and nobody is doing anything about it."

"If we began working on this with advanced notice, which, we should--we are big boys and girls--we ought to be able to get it done in time."
