This is a stunning display of ignorance from a member of what the Founders envisioned as an American version of the House of Lords:
Flabbergasted Rand Paul Learns Public Employment Decreased Under Obama

PAUL: The thing I don’t understand is that your arguing that the government sector is struggling. Are you arguing that there are fewer government employees under Obama than there were under Bush?
KRUGMAN: Of course. That’s a fact. That’s a tremendous fact.
PAUL: No, the size of growth of government is enormous under president Obama.
KRUGMAN: If government employment had grown as fast under Obama as it did under Bush, we’d have a million and a half more people employed right now — directly.
PAUL: Are there less people employed or more people employed now by government?

I have problems with Paul using the Pakistan government as whipping boy for his anti foreign aid gambit, rather than Israel, whose aid makes Pakistan a drop in the bucket. Paul is lambasting Pakistan for trying a traitor to its interests, which it has every right to do. Now if Paul wanted to legislate for cutting off all funds for droning, and in fact all warring in Pakistan, which has made us many more enemies killing innocents in Pakistan,including enemies in their government, I'd go along gladly with what would then not be an obvious diversion.
