    Sen. Rand Paul announces savings of $600,000 in running his office







    U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, is returning $600,000 to the U.S. Treasury, money he said he saved through frugally operating his Senate office over the last year.

    “It’s the only budget I control. ... It’s not enough, but it’s a start,” Paul said at a news conference Wednesday near of Fourth and Liberty streets in downtown Louisville.
    In promoting his thriftiness, Paul said the savings were realized by “watching every purchase,” including keeping close tabs on expenditures for “computers, paper, ink cartridges. Everything we buy.”

    He said he also keeps close watch on travel expenditures and noted that, although he frequently flies back and forth between Washington and Kentucky, his staff seldom does.

    “We are frugal from top to bottom,” Paul said, adding that he believes the savings is true to a campaign pledge he made to cut federal spending. “It’s not an enormous savings,” he said, but the savings would add up, if purse strings were so closely watched throughout government.

    This. I wish every federal office did this. Start by limiting OT to 5 hours or something for a federal employee.

    How funny. A liberal promoting corporatism.

    Rand Paul should scare the ever living out of you. As much as you hardcore liberals try to demean him, here is what your average Democrat is going to hear.

    Moderate Democrat: Rand Paul doesn't seem that bad.
    Liberal idiot: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG. WHAT. HE HATES POOR PEOPLE.
    Moderate Democrat: Yeah but he doesn't want us to intervene and invade countries all over the world.
    Liberal Idiot: Well a broken clock is right twice a day.
    Moderate Democrat: Yeah, he also supports the legalization of Hemp.
    Liberal Idiot: Broken clock is right twice remember.
    Moderate Democrat: Yeah but he says he wants a complete repeal of the Patriot Act.
    Liberal Idiot (You): Well a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
    Moderate Democrat: Well he didn't support Sopa.
    Liberal Idiot: Blind rodents might find more than one nut every now and then.
    Moderate Democrat: Didn't support NDAA and the incarceration of American citizens like Obama did.
    Liberal Idiot: But he is evil.
    Moderate Democrat: He supports cutting funding in the Military also.
    Liberal Idiot: but you don't get it. he is crazy. he thinks our government spends to much money.

    Be scared.

    Aw, did I hurt your feewings?

    You're the one always ing about context. Let's see what he did spend his money on -- then we can make a judgment as to its frugality.

    I returned $600,000 or 20% of my operating budget to the Treasury and no one on my staff lost their job. We can have the sequester without laying off anyone. There are all sorts of ways to cut spending if Washington was serious about it.

    Rand also gave back 500k last year as well, reported on the Daily Rundown on MSNBC in a little quick mention.
