Rand Paul: Cuts in 'big, beautiful bill' are 'wimpy,' 'anemic' and would 'explode the debt'

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he would’ve been willing to vote for President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act even with the “wimpy and anemic” spending cuts, but the current bill would “explode the debt.”

During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” Paul, who said he is a hard no on the bill the House passed early Thursday morning, said he supports spending cuts.

“I think the cuts currently in the bill are wimpy and anemic, but I still would support the bill even with wimpy and anemic cuts if they weren’t going to explode the debt,” he said.

Paul noted that “the math doesn’t add up,” repeating his call to remove the $4 trillion debt limit hike, saying it is “not conservative.”
