Rand Paul’s Response to Obama’s 2015 State of the Union
America needs many things, but what America desperatelyneeds is new leadership.
Ive only been in office a short time, but one thing Ivediscovered is that there is no monopoly on knowledge inWashington.
The best thing that could happen is for usto once and foralllimit the terms of all politicians. We already limit thePresident to two terms.
I think we should put limits on the terms of Congress andinfuse our government with fresh ideas.
Before I ran for office, I practiced medicine for nearly 20years in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Liberal elites fly overmy small town, but they dont understand us. They simplyseek to impose their will upon usfrom what insurance wecan buy, to what light bulbs we can use, to how wegenerate electricity.
Most of us in flyover country, and I suspect many who livein our big cities, think those in government take us forgranted. Those of us who are actively pursuing theAmerican Dream simply want government to get out of ourway.
For those of us who feel separated and distant from theAmerican Dream, we dont want be perpetually talked downto, forgotten, and left in perpetual poverty. Many arediscouraged that the gifts offered by liberals have notgenerated wealth, but rather perpetuated poverty.
People want a way outnot fake concern and baubles.
The war on poverty is 50 years old, and still blackunemployment is twice that of white unemployment.
Income inequality has worsened under this Administration,and tonight President Obama offers more of the samepoliciespolicies that have allowed the poor to get poorer,and the rich to get richer.
