I for one make enough money to support myself, but in the past 3 years most of my family has lost their jobs and/or seen their own ventures go to shit, and I'm juggling supporting myself with helping to support them, which all of a sudden makes me struggling despite making a decent amount of money. It's led to having to make difficult decisions on where to cut my own spending, which is what the government really needs to do instead of let this ridiculous "neverending" well continue to flow.

I haven't seen much of Rand Paul, but if his father can instill enough sense into him, maybe having Ron Paul and a Ron Paul Lite in politics will help get the nation closer to making the right decisions for the economy to recover.
