Senator Rand Paul, you just made us proud. Thank you. Please, don't give up, don't give in. You and Rep. Ron Paul are the two most treasured assets in Congress today.

Additional thank you to the great citizens of Kentucky and Texas for having the courage and wisdom to send both Sen. Paul and Rep. Paul to serve the people of the United States.

So there were how many different compromises offered by tea party people? Cut, cap, and balance was one. It passed the house. In this video, Rand offered to vote for the Reid bill with a balanced budget amendment, that's two. They also offered the penny plan, which never came to a vote. Adding the original Boehner bill and the bill that was passed (both with some arguable tea party support), that's a total of five different compromise bills that were offered.

@Dreadmore: Just like the republicans. They are partners in crime, each playing their part in the drama & all working for Wall St.

@tripfunkmonster The federal government was given specific authority by the states for international matters. Look at the regulation at 26cfr301.6109-1(c) Requirement to furnish another's (Tax ID) number. The only people required to give a tax ID number under penalty of law are described at (b)(2)(i), (ii), (iii), (vi), (vii), or (viii) in the same section. Those described are either foreign persons or non-resident aliens. There are no other persons anywhere in the Code required to give a tax #
