Rand Paul: “We have to really fix it and you need to convince those of us who are skeptical that you will be part of fixing it.”

To save Americans from what very well could be the largest tax increase imposed by a Republican Congress, I offer an amendment that strikes the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on an ever-changing list of countries.

Today we will vote on 2 budgets: One spends $100 billion MORE and is not offset by cuts. Pure debt. The other budget actually cuts spending by $400 billion dollars! Call your legislators and demand they vote for NO MORE DEBT!

Imposing a 100 percent tariff on all goods imported from countries like China and India is the economic equivalent of shooting ourselves in the foot.

There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.
