Rand Paul worries GOP isn’t ‘brave enough’ to balance budget
• RawStory.com"It's really not going to touch the problem," Paul told ABC News's Jonathan Karl. "There's a disconnect between Republicans who want a balanced budget but aren't maybe yet brave enough to talk about the cuts to come."
The Republican budget proposed Thursday offers $32 billion in spending cuts from a resolution funding the government in fiscal 2011 -- less than the party's proclaimed $74 billion in cuts, and far short of GOP promises to remove $100 from the budget prior to the November elections.
