Rand Paul

I want to thank Senator Baldwin for being part of this and the panel for being part of this today.

I think there is a contractor problem, and we have to figure out how to say that it is not acceptable to spend $1.8 billion on a 180-bed hospital.

It is outrageous. It ought to be wallpapered with gold to have cost that much.

If it is one percent, if you take one percent savings across the board and you compound it, it adds up to real savings.

I think maybe we should look at our bill to see about adding that to our bill about the way we review employees.

I think continuing resolutions are a terrible way to run government.

I am again going to turn back in nearly half a million dollars from my own personal office budget.

I would appreciate it if all of you would look at our bill. We do have that in there, a safeguard to try to make sure you are accomplishing your mission.

But they do not create their budget. We create the budget, right?

It is both parties that have been a huge failure, and it is part of the reason why there is about an 11-percent approval rating for Congress because we do not do our job.

This practice will not continue under my chairmanship.

Nothing gets better. We never examine bad spending or good spending, and nothing gets better.

I have a possible solution or a way to help to end some of the wasteful spending, and this is called 'Bonuses for Cost-Cutters Act.'

Today we are going to be discussing wasteful spending.

I'm all for vaccines but I'm also for freedom.

What's Donald Trump known for? Buying and selling politicians.

I think he needs to be himself and play his game and try as best you can to ignore the Donald because he will just suck up all of the oxygen.

If we are talking about who is a spoiled brat or not, my kids are all work minimum wage jobs.

Vulgarity does not equate with insight because someone can stand up and say you're stupid and you're ugly does not equate with a vision for the country.

I don't think we should reward vulgarity. I don't think vulgarity equates with insight.

I don't think we should reward vulgarity. And I don't think vulgarity equates with insight.

I don't trust President Obama with our records. I know you gave him a big hug, and if you want to give him a big hug again, go right ahead.

And this is what's wrong, he buys and sells politicians of all stripes. He's already hedging his bet on the Clintons, OK.

I think we are finding another area of agreement here, the Federal Government getting involved in something that, from my standpoint, is better left to the States and local governments, because they are just better at it.

Proposals like the one offered by U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rand Paul (R-KY) would allow companies to choose to repatriate offshore taxes at the bargain-basement rate of only 6.5 percent.
