Republican stops unanimous passage of 9/11 first responders funding bill: "Republican Sen. Rand Paul objected Wednesday to an attempt to pass the bill funding 9/11 first responders'...

BigWahoo Loc: Kentucky

"Republican Sen. Rand Paul objected Wednesday to an attempt to pass the bill funding 9/11 first responders' health care unanimously, arguing that passing such a long-term bill without offsetting the cost would contribute to the national debt.

The delay presents another hurdle in the dramatic fight to secure funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's continued reassurances that the fund would be fully funded.

After comedian and fund advocate Jon Stewart gave emotional testimony last month accusing lawmakers of failing to support the bill, the measure was swiftly approved for to a floor v**e in the House and passed the lower chamber last week on an overwhelmingly bipartisan 402-12 v**e."

Rand is a dirtbag. We can't afford to take care of our 911 responders but we can afford to give tax breaks to the rich. We can't afford to take care of our first responders but Paul and Trump can go play golf at a cost of 1.2 million dollars.
Republicans used to be the law and order party, now they've devolved into the screw cops and firemen party.
Wow. This absolutely disgusts me at every level.

What does this have anything to do with your original post? Maybe you were just trying to point out more Lefty violence against Republicans?

But Paul objected, pointing to the country's growing debt and arguing that any new spending should be offset by cuts to other spending.

So you are opposed to Rand Paul being fiscally responsible? Can't say the same for all those democrats and republicans who v**ed for the bill without making other cuts to pay for it. Also, you are lying once again about the Trump tax cut, it was not a tax cut for the rich you liar and it doesn't add to the national debt. as written.

"It has long been my feeling that we need to address our massive debt in the country," he said. "And therefore any new spending … should be offset by cutting spending that's less valuable. We need to, at the very least, have this debate."

He added that if the House bill was brought up for a v**e in the Senate he is planning to offer an amendment, "but until then I will object."

A spokesperson for Paul later told The Hill that Paul "is not blocking anything," adding that he is "simply seeking to pay for it."

"As with any bill, Senator Paul always believes it needs to be paid for. Senator Paul is simply offering an amendment, which other senators support, to pay for this legislation,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement

A rich republican that wants to withhold medical support for 911 first responders.

I'm sure you agree that the first responders for the 911 terrorist attack don't deserve healthcare.

Maybe you could have made your point on what it had to do with the original post instead of hurling an insult like a 2nd grader. You wonder why Americans are fed up with lib f*****t socialist dems? People like you.
