Reckless government spending has created the worst inflation in decades. The consumer price index revealed that inflation rose to 7.5% in the past year, the highest increase in 40 years.

In an effort to curb this record inflation, Sen. Rand Paul is trying to get the government to spend less and be more fiscally responsible. It has been quite the challenge. Yet, in his latest efforts, Paul wrote a letter to the Committee on Appropriations, calling for a halt to spending taxpayer dollars on industry-specific grants related to the pandemic.
