Rand Paul declares Tea Party dead as Congress, Trump agree on new spending

Budget hawk Sen. Rand Paul, ripping the new and expensive $2.7 trillion budget deal and its supporters on both sides, declared the tight-fisted Tea Party dead in a Senate speech.

“Both parties have deserted – have absolutely and utterly deserted – America and show no care and no understanding and no sympathy for the burden of debt they are leaving the taxpayers, the young, the next generation, and the future of our country. The very underpinnings of our country are being eroded and threatened by this debt,” said Paul.

And, he added, the deal between Democrats and President Trump “marks the death of the Tea Party movement in America.”

Paul said, “Today is the final nail in the coffin. The Tea Party party is no more.”

He was attacking the budget deal that was to win final passage today. It will raise spending by $324 billion and suspend the debt ceiling until July 2021.

In return, the administration won assurances that the Democrats wouldn’t try to hold up spending on immigration and it added spending for the military.

"The present age is cajoled to tax and enslave itself by the errour of believing that it taxes and enslaves future ages to enrich itself; and the future ages submit to taxation and slavery, by being reduced into an erroneous opinion, that the present age have a right to inflict upon them these calamities.’"
-John Taylor of Caroline (1814)
