Rand Paul: ‘Congress Will Never Balance the Budget Unless You Force Them’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
RAND PAUL: "Washington is horribly broken. I fear it can't be fixed from within. We the people must rise up and demand action. Congress will never balance the budget unless you force them to do so. Congress has an abysmal record with balancing anything. The only way is with a constitutional amendment. [ Applause ] I have been to Washington let me tell you there is no monopoly on knowledge there. I ran for office because we have too many career politicians. I believe it now more than ever, we limit the president to two terms. It's about time we limit the terms of Congress. [ Applause ] I want to reform Washington and have common sense rules that break the log jam in Congress. That's why I introduced a read the bills act. [ Applause ] The bills are 1,000 pages long and no one reads them. They are often plopped on our desk with only a few hours before a vote. So I propose something truly extraordinary. Let's read the bills every page."
