Rand Paul- Part Two

I must admit I'm becoming intrigued by the way this Rand Paul thinks. I watched a clip of a "debate" which took place earlier in the week between Mr. Paul and his opponent, Jack Conway.
Now, I've got to admit I've always suspected that the federal government wastes a lot of money, but as it turns out, for every dollar which goes to Washington, those politicians waste $1.50 of it.
Seriously, that's a lot of waste, and Rand Paul explains it by saying that money going to Washington gets "swished around in the bureaucracy, half of it gets left in Washington, half of it is wasted, and half of it goes to political cronyism."

I think I have the quote right, and hopefully Mr. Paul's handlers will issue a "clarification" for us soon. The entire video is about 45 minutes, and the brilliant statement appears at about 39:30.
