Rand Paul actually said...

"Who suffers? The consumer, the people who lose their jobs, the poor people, the middle class."

"I am concerned about the history of regulation. We don't have a real good record that regulations prevent problems."

"But when you prop-up policies that are bad, ultimately the consumer is hurt by these regulations because the market doesn't hold them in check."

"The Federal Reserve is hardly a protector of the consumer when it distorts the interest rate that is paid to the savers."
