Rand Paul was up in arms Sunday over the fact that a massive spending bill was rushed and approved through Congress before anyone had a chance to read it.
Fox News heard Paul’s reaction on New York’s “The Cats Roundtable” radio talk show:
It was over a trillion dollars, it was all lumped together, 2,242 pages, nobody read it, so frankly my biggest complaint is that I have no idea what kind of things they stuck in that bill in the middle of the night.
I voted against it because I won’t vote for these enormous bills that no one has a chance to read.
Republicans aligned with Democrats in a 316-113 House vote approving the spending bill which President Obama happily signed into law with the blessing of new House Speaker Raul Ryan. The speaker defended his role in saying in a divided government, “you don’t get everything you want.”
Fox News states:
The final version pairs two gigantic bills: a $1.14 trillion government spending measure that will fund every Cabinet agency through September 2016, as well as a $680 billion tax package which extends dozens of breaks and making some permanent.
Remarking that this is the very reason “government is broke,” the Kentucky senator said every lawmaker in Washington is to blame:
