| Subject: Rand Paul Rails Against COVID Relief Plans, Calls for Economy to Be Reopened Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:04 am | |
| Republican Senator Rand Paul said the U.S. should "not borrow more money" and he railed against plans for further COVID-19 relief funds as stimulus talks gathered pace on Capitol Hill in the run up to Christmas. Appearing on the conservative Newsmax network on Friday, the Kentucky senator said Congress should not be "passing out any money" to states that had not reopened their economies, arguing that it would be "rewarding" poor behavior. He added that the option between a large Democratic stimulus package and a smaller Republican relief bill was a "false choice," hitting out at any plans to increase borrowing as millions of Americans faced rent arrears, debt and food poverty. Reacting to the push for further COVID relief funding, Sen. Paul said: "We aren't the party that's supposed to borrow money and pass it out, we're supposed to be the ones to conserve the money. So I think it's a false choice to say, oh the Democrats want $2 trillion and Republicans want $1 trillion, so $1 trillion is conservative."
