Rand Paul in New Hampshire   ...1 of 2 >
April 28, 2011--On a three-day visit to New Hampshire, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke at a Merrimack County Republican breakfast at the Holiday Inn in Concord.  Addressing the need to cut spending Paul said "we have to look at the whole budget" including military spending.  "If we don't, we're just not serious about balancing the budget," he said.  Paul emphasized the need for action.  "If we do nothing, entitlements and interest will occupy the whole budget within a decade," he stated.  Paul had been subject of a modest amount of presidential speculation, mainly centered on the story line that if his father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), didn't run he might.  However, Rep. Paul launched an exploratory committee on April 26.
