Rand Paul: GOP Emasculated' by Budget Deal – A ‘Lie' Republicans Fiscally Conservative

[Breitbart] Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s "Kudlow" that Republicans had "emasculated" themselves by agreeing to the framework for an omnibus spending bill to fund the government through 2023.
'Stopgaps pending bill'... oh HELL no. Couldn't foking wait until a Pub congress could be seated.
Paul said, "This brings upon us the lie that Republicans really are fiscally conservative. The Democrats aren’t. They will not pretend to be fiscally conservative. Not one of them up here gives a darn about the debt. The Republicans all profess to be, but when you make them vote on the PAYGO resolution, pay as you go, that we can’t have new spending without offsetting it, they always vote to exempt it. So the omnibus will be 3,000 pages. We’ll get it two hours before they want to pass it. No one will read it. But hidden in the 3,000 pages will be we’re going to wave PAYGO."

He added, "It would take 41 votes. Forty-one votes would stop the big spending. If 41, one of us said no and held our ground until there was a compromise, we could force Democrats to reduce spending. We have completely and totally abdicated the power of the purse. Republicans are emasculated. They have no power, and they are unwilling to gain that power back."

Meet the ~~Fockers~~ Uniparty.

Hey Rand, I think I have located the source of the problem.

Yea that's right. Same exact problem Trump wrestled with for 4 years.

#2 The only thing worse than two parties is one party made up of political elites. Welcome to the CCP model. McConnell is a sellout of the American people.

#3 Well when the new boss is the same as the old boss, don't be surprised.
