Yesterday, Ben Nelson voted against both the Republican and Democrat spending plans, claiming “neither one is serious.”
If Nelson really wants to get serious about “runaway government spending,” why doesn’t he support Rand Paul’s plan to cut $500 billion? That’s $500 billion in one year.
Republican freshman Sen. Rand Paul introduced legislation Tuesday that seeks to cut $500 billion from government spending in one year alone, wiping out three cabinet departments and the entire foreign aid budget while sparing neither the Pentagon nor 2011 war-related funding for overseas military operations.
Sounds good to me. At least it’s a serious start.
Come on, Ben. Grow a pair. Sen. Paul could use the support.
