Who was the last President who never asked for more money to be spent?Rand Paul has been in the senate since 2011. He supported Romney in 2012, competed against Trump in 2016 but supported him after he won the nomination
He has accomplished very little of substance during that time beyond tilting at windmills such as voting against stop gap bills to avert a government shut down which pass anyway. It is hard to tell if he is fighting the good fight when so little gets accomplished, the whole Maverick thing in its own way can be just an excuse to not do much but look good doing it. Say what you like about Trump, he got things done - witness beginning construction of the wall against all opposition from both the progs and most of his own party
Headline from the 1/10/18 edition of The Hill:
Rand Paul: ‘We don’t have money to spend’ for Trump’s border wall
Further more; as part of the debate Ron Paul, who was just as effective in congress as his son, went on to say Trump didn't need a wall to deter immigration - that he should remove incentives to come here. As if that wouldn't take years or need to be accomplished without major, multi-pronged action by the same congress that wouldn't even fund a wall. IMO again he was saying what makes him look good while ensuring nothing is accomplished. Acorn doesn't fall far from the tree
I will take someone who gets **** done, warts and all
What was the last Congress that never increased the budget?
Was there ever such a President or Congress?
