Paul is clueless about the difference between a Monetarily Sovereign government (which neither needs nor uses tax revenue), and a monetarily non-sovereign government (which does need, and does use, tax revenue). "Sen. Rand Paul cut a six-figure check to the U.S. Treasury on Wednesday (Feb, 19, 2013) in an effort to do his "part" to put a tiny chip in the federal debt."  Federal Debt is nothing more than the total ($16.4 Trillion) of Treasury Securities on hold at the Federal Reserve Bank. Yes, every penny of that $16.4 Trillion is safely "stored" at the Federal Reserve Bank. Even China can get every penny of their savings investment ($1.2 Trillion) back TOMORROW, if they so desire.  The Kentucky Republican (Paul) returned $600,000 in funds he saved from his Senate office budget in the last year, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. Apparently,Rand Paul believes monetarily non-sovereign Kentucky, Louisville, Greece, you and I are financially identical to the Monetarily Sovereign U.S. government, which has the unlimited ability to pay its bills, and never needs to ask anyone for dollars OR DOLLARS BACK.

Too bad we dont have 100 Rand Pauls in office. Common sense is uncommon in Washington. I hope he gets the credit he deserves and if he just changes a few hearts and minds it will be great,especially if he can pull some lefties a lil closer to center. This guy is brilliant, only dulled by his crazy old coot of a father.  A great idea,a great publicity move,but in these political times Im afraid its too little too late.
