Rand Paul: ‘It Is Time for Real Change, America Should Not Continue To Be the World’s Piggy Bank’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “We need to ask a simple question: Why are we borrowing money to send money overseas? Even if USAID eliminated the crazy left-wing grants for trans operas, it still makes no sense to borrow money to then turn around and send it overseas. Borrowing money to send as charity looks like the worker who has no money left after paying for their food, rent, and gas saying, 'Oh, well, I see this homeless person, I have such great sympathy. I'll go to the bank and I'll borrow a thousand dollars to give to this person.' That's what we are doing. We can't pay for our own and we are borrowing the money we send overseas. That money could be used to pay down our $36 trillion debt and take care of the American people, the very people who actually pay these taxes in the first place. It's time for a real change. America should not continue to be the world's piggy bank. It's time to end the waste of foreign aid and end the bureaucracy and for once do what's right by the American taxpayer.”
