Rand Paul: 'Fire the CBO' For Finding that Immigration Reform Reduces the Deficit

"SNIP...............................


Sen. Rand Paul says he neither believes nor understands the Congressional Budget Office report which found that the Senate immigration bill would reduce the deficit, mostly through the new revenues that come with an expansion of the tax base. The Kentucky Republican told conservative talk show host Lars Larson that he doesn’t comprehend the CBO analysts’ math… and therefore they should be fired. He said that “we ought to fire the CBO” and “go ahead and just get it done” without paying attention to their fancy, elitist math.

Teabaggers love purposeful ignorance. They display hatred for anyone with an education because they honestly believe that education breeds elite-ism, and the only knowledge they approve of is that available to a home-schooled, fundamentalist bigot with "cypherin' up to the number 5 on the multiplication table. Why do teabaggers hate knowledge and America?
