ReadabilityRand Paul Set a Radical Example...
Potter: But if you haven’t spent all of this year’s budget why send the surplus back to Washington?
D’Angelo: Number #1 Washington loves to get money, they’re always giving it away, you send a bureaucrat back there a check he’ll spin in his chair for an hour.

Right now Washington is going nuts over the idea of sequestration. How on earth are people going to function with a reduction in the increase in spending that they had counted on? Particularly when you’ve got people like Rand Paul insisting that sequestration is a drop in the bucket.
On the subject of sequestration, the Kentucky Republican makes the case that these defense cuts amount to a drop in the bucket. “Sequestration was $1.2 trillion over 10 years. And we will be adding $9 trillion over 10 years [in more spending]. Instead of spending 45 trillion over ten years we’ll spend 44 trillion,” Paul said.
Oh Yeah, YEAH? That’s big talk when that 2 – 3% is coming from someone else’s increase. I’d like to see if Rand Paul can do with less money than he expects.
At a press conference on Wednesday in Louisville, Sen. Rand Paul announced that he will be returning $600,000 to the United States Treasury, money unspent from his official operating budget.
The total amount being returned is more than 20 percent of Sen. Paul’s original office budget.
20% Cut! An actual cut, er…ah…well… it’s a stunt! Anybody can do it for ONE Year. It’s not like He’s been doing it every year so something:
Freshman Sen. Rand Paul is making good on his promise to cut federal spending. The Kentucky Republican and tea-party favorite said Thursday he’s returning $500,000 to the U.S. Treasury — money from his operating budget that his office never spent.
That story is dated January 12th 2012.
That’s 1.1 million returned over two years.
There is nothing more dangerous to a false meme than an example contrary to it.
I’m sure the MSM would LOVE to cover this deeper, but Marco Rubio was seen near a bubbler and MSNBC & CNN only has so many resources to spare.
Update: Smitty has a bit of spare time to cover it.
