Rand Paul and his father are pretty good“

Yes, sometimes they get it right:

“Rand Paul reveals GOP lawmakers praise him for knocking Trump’s tariffs, encourage him to ‘keep going’
Paul said the view many Americans have about trade is ‘misguided’
By Alexander Hall FOXBusiness

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., slammed President Donald Trump’s tariffs, claiming that some of his fellow Republican lawmakers are secretly praising him to avoid political backlash.

“The whole debate is so fundamentally backwards and upside down,” Paul said on Tuesday during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “It’s based on a fallacy, and the fallacy is this, that somehow in a trade someone must lose. That somehow, when you trade with someone, there’s a loser and someone’s taking advantage of you, and China is ripping you off, or Japan is ripping you off. It’s absolutely a fallacy. Every trade that occurs in the marketplace is mutually beneficial.”

I really don’t know. I do know Rand Paul and his father are pretty good. But the rest of them???

They are utopians. And use to listen to them on Virginia talk radio stations in Norfolk, back in the early 1990s and early 2000s.
