Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) slammed the Republican Party for abandoning the fiscal discipline it once championed, while accusing his colleagues of embracing massive governmental deficits and greenlighting spending levels they previously opposed.

According to Paul, Republicans reopened the government using the same spending framework they previously opposed under former President Joe Biden, and he said that the numbers haven’t been altered at all, before being approved without any real objections.
