Rand Paul Readies To Join Father In Congress
KENTUCKY....
For much of his 21 years in Congress, Representative Ron Paul has been a party of one, but that's all about to change. Rand Paul will not only share his father's Virginia condominium after winning an election of his own, but he will bring a tea party agenda of deficit reduction and limited government that is remarkably similar to the ideas that Ron Paul has been pushing for decades. Both father and son want to reform monetary policy and slash government spending and regulation. Ron Paul says the dollar will be "ruined" unless Congress limits the "amount of power that the Fed has to monetize debt." Rand Paul agrees and says that stricter oversight of the Federal Reserve will be among his top priorities in the Senate. Rand Paul also plans to introduce term-limit legislation, something his father, now a veteran incumbent, supported during his first years in office. Rand Paul says lawmakers need to live with the rules they create. Political analysts say it would be a mistake to say that Rand Paul is a carbon copy of his father.
