tax cuts that s a great start. they need to keep building the wall. finish repealing obamacare which is a disaster. replace it with free market solutions. healthcare savings accounts and coop tifsz. pass welfare reform it s desperately needed again. cut other wasteful government spending programs. we know the democrats are signaling that they want all kinds of concessions in these upcoming negotiations in coming weeks. republicans, you need to show some backbone, at least for once. stand up for principles. get your identity back. here s why. you always get the tax cut. you never get the tax cut. you always get the tax hike. you never get the future spending cuts. we always get the immediate concession or amnesty. but you never get the border wall built. you never get the border security. so you republicans, you need to take this past approach and flip it upside down because so far it fails every time. so the g.o.p., you want to win in november?
that republicans will shoot themselves in the foot by passing something that actually doesn t fix obama care. i think actually i m not advocating nothing but nothing would be better than this bill because the death spiral of obama care is based on one fundamental flaw, and that is that you can buy insurance after you re sick, and that we have these regulations that make insurance expensive so young healthy people can t buy it. that death spiral leads to adverse selection and the rising premiums in the individual marketplace, that will continue under the republican plan. they will simply subsidize the death spiral. that s what this stabilization fund does. the republicans are acknowledging the death spiral of obama care will continue and they are going to subsidize it. there s nothing republican about that. there s nothing conservative about that. and i won t be part of that. if they want to take their nonsense, their big government spending programs, their throw the kitchen sink at eve
with democrats to show up the under obamacare. now, is that a threat was there more to that do believe? only time will tell. there is another alternative, and that which i put forward as, let s clean repeal, separate that from all the big government spending programs, and put into a separate belt that may be democrats and big government republicans may like, but conservatives like myself will not vote for. if you want conservatives to vote, he needs to be more of a repeal bill. strip away all of the extra big government spending. put that into another bill, and you can work with democrats for all i care on that bill. i will not support that. i will vote for clean repeal. bill: you may not get your way. if the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, is looking for a way to help americans, this might be the solution in the end do you think so or not? speak i think separating the bills will ultimately be a
there are big government spending programs, put them on some other bill but the thing is you can t get conservative votes or you can t get my vote if this bill with a bunch of federal spending. greg: sorry, we are having trouble there with the signal. senator paul happening on a second, go ahead, finish your thought there. we have a 500 billion-dollar deficit and we are going to have a trillion dollars next year for loading up repeal with a lot of big government spending, so i think if you want conservative support you split the bill, i think you can get almost every member of our caucus to vote for a clean repeal if there s a concurrent or simultaneous separate bill that includes some of the things that moderates want. greg: just before we leave you, we have a minute left, i wanted to ask you about something, you were there in arlington for the horrible shooting which prompted a call for many people in congress to improve the tone of
