And kick-boxing lessons. I'll chip in on a Go-Fund-Me if the neighbor wants a private tutor.

Paul was the sole "no" vote on the $8.3 billion coronavirus spending bill the Senate passed earlier this month.
Paul is notorious for forcing votes on amendments he knows will not pass.
In July, Paul blocked a bipartisan bill that would ensure that a victims' compensation fund related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, never runs out of money. Paul questioned the bill's 70-year time frame and said any new spending should be offset by corresponding cuts. After the amendment failed, he wound up being one of two no votes on the legislation.
He even briefly caused the government to shut down in 2018, using a procedural tactic to block the Senate from meeting the deadline to keep the government open because he objected to the price tag.
