GOP Megabill Moves To The Senate, But Rand Paul Says 'Math Doesn't Really Add Up'
• Zero HedgeOne holdout, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), said that he would support the bill if the debt ceiling hike was removed - telling CBS' Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan that he and three other GOP senators will hold out against the bill unless it's modified.
"I think there are four of us at this point, and I would be very surprised if the bill at least is not modified in a good direction," said Paul. "I want the tax cuts to be permanent. But at the same time, I don't wanna raise the debt ceiling five trillion," he continued, adding "The GOP will own the debt once they vote for this."
The American people, like the Great People of Kentucky, do not support Biden spending levels and $5T in new debt. Therefore, I will not. It's simple. pic.twitter.com/m9sTuDiGZK
