Senators were on Tuesday heading towards a vote on the package — which includes provisions for free coronavirus testing, secures paid emergency leave, enhances unemployment insurance, strengthens food security initiatives, and increases federal Medicaid funding to states — but had to slam the brakes on because of an amendment Paul proposed.

The sources said Paul is forcing a vote on his amendment, which would "require a social security number for purposes of the child tax credit, and to provide the President the authority to transfer funds as necessary, and to terminate United States military operations and reconstruction activities in Afghanistan."


Lovely. First part makes sense, second part? fuck that noise. Third part? the GOP will never go for that.

Rand Paul is an asshole. I wish one of his constituents would kick his ass.

He'd just bugger off to Canada for a week to get decent healthcare and come back good as new, proposing more shitty bills.

Suffering economic hardship for 90% is worse than death for the other 10%?

A good read.

I tend to favor the approach of suffering economic hardship in the pursuit of saving lives, but there's always a balance.

He'll blow up the deficit to give tax cuts to the rich, but passing needed economic relief in a pandemic is too much. Biggest douchebag in the Senate.

Why does Rand Paul even keep being reelected? His brand of libertarianism cant be too popular in a poor, rural state like Kentucky. Why hasnt he been primaried already?

If only we had listened to Trump from the start. He knew since Day 1.
