Paul Focuses On Balanced Budget
KENTUCKY....
After winning Tuesday's election, Senator-elect Rand Paul said he planned to leave Wednesday for a few days of vacation in Florida, but, when he returns, he said he will turn his attention to selecting a staff and setting up offices around the state. He already has chosen Doug Stafford, a longtime Republican operative in Washington, to be his chief of staff. Paul says, if households are expected to operate on balanced budgets, why shouldn’t the federal government do likewise? He says solutions to the country’s many problems lie not in partisan politics but in “figuring out solutions” through compromise, and he is willing to work with politicians from both parties and hopes to forge alliances with like-minded members in the Senate and the House. He said he will support efforts to overturn the recently enacted health-care legislation, which he characterized as a “disaster waiting to happen." Paul says his first and most pressing priority will be a balanced budget. He says anything can be done if you have the will to do it.
