Rand Paul nixes bid to fast-track extension to 9/11 victims compensation fund, citing national debt
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., derailed an attempt by Democrats on Wednesday to fast-track an extension to the compensation fund for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, citing the national debt.
Paul blocked a push, introduced by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., to sign off on the bill approved by the House in a 402-12 vote last week.
The bill would ensure the fund can pay benefits for 70 years.
While balking at the bill, Paul pointed to a need to get the $22 trillion national debt under control before adding any additional spending.
Benefits for 70 years!?!?
Love it when folks on the Right stand up and tell it like it is.
You know folks, Trump opened the door on folks on the Right doing what we’ve been doing here for twenty years.
About damned time!
Best vote I ever cast.
So,... much,... WINNING!
The guy is and will continue to be a game changer.
