Rand Paul: Government Shouldn’t Be Kept Open To “Keep Spending Money Like There’s No Tomorrow”

‘We borrow more than a million-and-a-half dollars a minute’

Senator Rand Paul has said that while he opposes a government shutdown, spending is out of control and it should not be allowed to continue.

“People worry about the government shutting down, and I understand that, but they should also worry about keeping the government open,” Paul said during a Fox News appearance.

Citing $22 trillion in federal debt, Paul urged that “We shouldn’t willy-nilly shut the government down, but also shouldn’t just keep it open and keep spending money like there’s no tomorrow.”
