Thank you for all you are doing. Having been a government contractor, I've seen the waste up close. Programs and contracts created just to ensure a department keeps it budget and can ask for more. The majority of Feds incentivized to grow their fiefdoms and spend money. If you bring them a money-saving process or technology, they will reject it because "If we don't spend, we won't get more next year!". The majority of their effort goes into keeping their jobs and moving up the Federal ladder, NOT DOING their jobs or caring about the American people. Good riddance to excessive spending and Good Riddance to the Federal workforce. You can't cut too much of either.
It's always great to read accounts from those who've actually seen the process and have seen the overall waste. I'm sure there a lot of former government contractors out there who will say the same. And I agree 1,000 percent - you can never cut too much government.
Cleverly written Senator Paul, really appreciate your writing prowess. Like Thanos, this American appreciates your before DOGE diligence working for us all. God bless you and Elon our new superhero!! 🇺🇸
After this review and all of your congressional presentations along with “open the book,” this citizen feels like axing the whole DC government and living with a small state group that maybe cares about the people it sees and hears from (but even that at times is questionable?). Thanks for your never ending voice of reason. These people of waste are insane and thieves.
You can't imagine how much joy I read these posts. The whole world can't wait to return to admire America as a beacon of freedom, intelligence and justice. Do not forget the "branches" abroad of these horrors. Don't settle for anything less than total victory. A hug from Italy
Where have all the “Republican Senators” been while years of this “titled” theft has been passed? Putting titles on planned theft going into pockets of unknowns is really what happened. No one was studying whether one could snap their fingers in an iron suit! Bogus! Fraud… years of fraud. No consequences… it will continue.
Yeah, I actually had to do a double take when I saw the pickleball quip, too. I was listening to the article, but I had to pause it and scroll down just to make sure I heard it correctly!
For years I have listened to Rand Paul's documentation of the NSF and the ridiculous projects it has funded. If that were the only waste in our government, we might laugh and move on. But Senator Paul always points to the serious waste and fraud that are going on all of the time.
I'm glad to hear that he supports the DOGE efforts.
I remember, a while back, a friend of mine was talking about the Left and the main point he brought up was that "they just shout louder than the rest of us." At the time, and this was in 2021, we saw a lot of people, companies, etc., basically bowing down to the Left, or at least that's how I saw it.
But, with Rand Paul systematically exposing exactly what they've been spending taxpayer money on, the Left may be shouting louder than ever. That said, more people are coming to their senses and realizing it's nothing but background noise.
As Rand Paul and DOGE continue to unveil where this money has been going, expect louder shouts from the Left. But we can also expect an even growing number to discard those shouts as nothing more than hysterical background noise.

I was upset reading this, all the waste. But when I saw the gubmint spent money on PICKLEBALL! That now that is too much!

Don’t get me going on the pickleball cult. Is there any activity in the US that doesn’t turn into a cult with “rights”?

Just a thought.
