Ran Paul blasted Congress for the corruption happening in Congress right now over the $1.7 trillion, 4,000-page omnibus spending bill. “When was it produced? In the dead of the night, 1:30 in the morning when it was released,” Paul pointed out.

Ran Paul slammed legislatures for producing the bill in the 11th hour right before Christmas when Congress has had 10 months to work on it, now forcing those who want to get home for the Christmas break to force a rushed impulsive decision. “Whose job is it to produce this? The people in charge of spending. The people in charge of both of the parties. When did they know this would be necessary? Well, it’s in the law, September 30th. You got nine months, almost ten months to produce a plan – to have a spending plan. They weren’t ready on September 30th so they voted themselves 90 more days. They weren’t ready last week either, so they voted themselves another week. So now we have it at 1:30 this morning.”

“I think the greatest risk to our national security is our debt. The process stinks. It’s an abomination, it’s a no-good rotten way to run your government. Six trillion dollar entity and they want 24 hours to process this, and then they want to go forward.”

Paul then demanded 2 amendments, “one, that this goes against the budget rules, the pay-go rules say you can’t do this that you can’t have all this new spending unless it’s offset. We will also be demanding that the pay-go rules are increased. Instead of taking 60 votes to evade the rules, we’re going to ask that it be a two-thirds vote to evade the rules. The American people don’t want this, they’re sick of it. They are paying for it through the nose with inflation”, Paul said in a press briefing on Tuesday.
