Sen. Rand Paul unloaded on government overreach and runaway spending during his appearance on The Chris Salcedo Show, calling the situation “insanity” and demanding the federal government be reined in before it buries the next generation. He didn’t mince words about elected officials and bureaucrats overstepping their bounds while handing out cash and power like candy.
Paul also warned that political weaponization of agencies is not some abstract worry but an affront to justice, saying the intelligence community’s past abuses aimed at undermining political opponents were an “incredible injustice.” That crackdown on civil liberties and due process shows exactly why conservatives must fight for limits on unelected power and transparency from the swamp.
On the fiscal front, Paul made clear he will not rubber-stamp massive increases to the national credit line, reiterating that he will refuse to vote for any bill that recklessly raises the debt ceiling without real spending cuts. This isn’t grandstanding — it’s the duty of fiscal conservatives to insist on accountability when Washington wants a blank check.
He singled out Senate rules that empower an unelected parliamentarian to effectively veto provisions, calling the arrangement bizarre and unacceptable, and argued those decisions belong to elected lawmakers answerable to voters. America didn’t create a permanent administrative class so career bureaucrats could dictate policy; that needs to change if we want self-government to survive.
Paul’s straight talk is a needed corrective to a Congress that too often pretends fiscal discipline while piling up $2 trillion annual deficits and proposing multi‑trillion dollar borrowing sprees. He’s right to say Republicans and Democrats alike must grow a spine and stop treating taxpayers like an endless ATM.
Patriots who care about liberty and the future of the country should stand with senators who risk political heat to defend principle over politics. If you’re tired of two-party collusion that runs up debt, weaponizes government, and shields unelected power, then it’s time to demand serious reform — and to back the lawmakers willing to fight for it.
