Rand Paul: 'Fire the CBO' For Finding that Immigration Reform Reduces the DeficitSubmitted by Brian Tashman at Right Wing Watch

"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 doesnt 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.

Sure is Rand Paul is the gift that keeps on giving. He proves more every time he opens his mouth he is not to the level of running for president and maybe not keeping his current position as Senator.

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?
