Uh, let's see. He claims that we shouldn't provide safety nets for the poor because it runs up the national debt. Hmm. Yet it was a conservative who drove up the national debt to $5.7 trillion. He didn't spend it on the poor:
Bush did three things to skyrocket the debt from $5.7 trillion to $10 trillion:
1. He lowered taxes on the rich (by far the biggest item).
2. He invaded Iraq instead of winning in Afghan-Pakistan (another $600 B).
3. He loosened controls on Wall Street.
Where is Paul's data that indicates that safety nets hurt the poor? He just states that it is and you take it as fact?! Show me the data please.
