Rand Paul

I frankly think you are not rooting out any waste unless there are limited, finite resources.

After 10 years, a clear danger for the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant program is that it would be transformed from a risk-based program targeting security gaps into an entitlement program for States and cities.

I am of no use if I am not independent.

Are either of the Inspectors General or those who are auditing aware of recent instances where there have been inspections that have been done where we have actually gone forward with legislative overhaul and significantly used your…

I like the idea on the waivers, and when you finish up your reports and you do it, do you come up with conclusions like that on legislative ways?

I have a great deal of admiration for the Inspectors General and the GAO to look at the waste, but I find that it continues and that I do not see a lot of connection to actual reform, that we actually fix things.

I would certainly welcome any comments at this time from our Ranking Member, Senator Baldwin.

Given that our government borrows about $1 million every minute and has a $19 trillion debt, we just cannot afford to allow waste to persist in government.

I commend the Chairman for putting this forward and wish you the best of success.

My goodness, shouldn't people be free to try?

But, I think that the holds or the blocking of this should not be secret.

I think it is important to know that our process is somewhat secretive, in the sense that people do not have to reveal when they are blocking legislation like this.

With Russia's backing, Assad is not going anywhere. He has the upper hand now.

Chairman Corker has mentioned the duplicitous nature of Pakistan, who I think at best can be described as a frenemy.

Even liberal institutions such as the New York Times have reported as much as 50 percent to 70 percent of foreign aid is stolen.

We plowed $1 trillion into Iraq, and Iraq has treated their liberation that we granted them with falling into the arms of Iran.

I think it is equally absurd for a country to borrow money from China to send to Pakistan.

I continue to believe that one of the greatest threats our country faces is the accumulation of debt.

The bulk collection of your phone data, the invasion of your privacy did not stop one terrorist attack.

I don't blame Hillary Clinton at all for this. I don't think she's responsible for his behavior but I do think that her position as promoting women's rights and fairness to women in the workplace that if what Bill Clinton did, any CEO in…

I'm the one physical conservative on the stage because I'm willing to hold the line on all the spending, the military spending as well as the domestic spending.

I think it was disdainful and arrogant of him to think that he's too good show for the debate.

The bulk collection of your phone data, the invasion of your privacy did not stop one terrorist attack. I don't think you have to give up your liberty for a false sense of security.

I don't think it's Hillary's fault but I mean, Bill Clinton is who he is and there are laws that we have and there are social norms.
