WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul blasted his fellow Republicans for voting in favor of the $900 billion coronavirus aid bill on Monday, which he said only encourages states to stay shuttered and adds to the nation’s growing deficit.
In a fiery, 12-minute speech on the Senate floor, the Kentucky libertarian said Republicans were no better than Democrats for acting like money grows on trees and saddling future generations with record debt.
“Today, many of these same Republicans will vote for a bill that makes modern monetary theory looks like child’s play in comparison. The monstrous spending bill presented today is not just a ‘deficits don’t matter’ disaster, it is everything Republicans say they don’t believe in,” Paul said.
