Rand Paul actually said...

"These are fundamental questions and not idle questions, in the sense that we have to ask these questions because we're out of money."

"I don't see anybody coming forward to any of these committees saying, 'oh, the problems are getting better, the war on poverty is really working, we have less poverty now.'"

"You can't just say that we're going to spend $2 billion, why not spend $4 billion or why not spend $10 billion to save more money?"

"I still can't get over how we're going to spend more money and we're going to save money by spending more money."
