Rand Paul actually said...

"More attention has been given to the Federal Reserve in recent years than it has in the past but we have a long way to go."

"We, as a Congress, have lived way beyond our means because the people in this country wanted us to live beyond our means."

"I agree with you that poverty is an important issue. I also agree that we need to understand what causes poverty and what causes prosperity, or we won't be able to fix the problem."

"While we all hope to lessen the sting of poverty, we need to put poverty in America into context."
