Sen. Paul Opposes Senate Debt Deal


And here's my guy Rand, explaining why he voted no on the House Resolution to re-open the government and raise the debt ceiling for a few weeks.

Via Rand Paul's Senate Hub:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Rand Paul today voted no on H.R. 2775, as amended, that will suspend the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014 and fund the government to January 15, 2014.

"Tonight, a deal was struck to re-open the government and avoid the debt ceiling deadline. That is a good thing," Sen. Paul said. "However, our country faces a problem bigger than any deadline: a $17 trillion debt. I am disappointed that Democrats would not compromise to avoid the looming debt debacle."
