Rand Paul: Budget Cuts 'Not Even Close' To Enough

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) does not think that $61 billion in budget cuts is enough and has vowed to vote against the spending bill unless deeper cuts are made. 

“You have to do much more, you’re not even close,” Paul said on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’. 

The Tea Party senator seemed to separate himself and the Tea Party from both Democrats and Republicans by saying neither a long nor short-term deal will garner his support at current spending levels. 

“Neither plan is sustainable. So what I’m about, and what the Tea Party’s about, is keeping both Republicans and Democrats honest about this,” Paul said. “You have to cut enormous amounts, you have to do much more than what anybody has proposed.”
