 "The greatest threat to our national security is our national debt" 
 - Senator Rand Paul when introducing the Six Penny Plan this past Wednesday

I remember when it was just 1 penny, then 3 in 2021.Needless to say, the forced vote didn't pass. Again. (39-56) 

There's something funny about 
"For just 6 pennies" 

For just 6 pennies off of every dollar projected to be spent (see NIH) your represenative could have balanced the budget (a truly conservative approach).
