Did he take this stance when the Biden admin increased tariffs?

There's a whole lot of crap we have been waiting on Congress to do, so do it! I like Rand Paul, but I think he is wrong about the tariffs.

This is Rand saying, "that should be left to us in Congress to decide". I like Rand but sometimes his ego overrides his brain. Annoying.

I get his stance, i just don't agree with it. It's a foreign policy and economic issue, not a tax.

Rand Paul is one of them, no matter how hard he tries to be above it all and different.

Get off your arse and pass a budget and tax bill via reconciliation. Ball is in your court. Stop crying and start doing

Trump ran on tariffs and he won bigly.

The American people voted for this. Ron Paul is being a petty tyrant.

Actually, yes, I believe he did. It's hard to get good google results for the question, but something about him being the lone GOP holdout on solar tariffs under Biden came up.

I like Rand but I suspect he has been uni-partying just a little too long.

I voted for this comeuppance and reckoning.

Trump is trying to stop other countries from stealing from our country by using unfair trade practices and bring jobs and wealth back to the US that has Ben stolen by the globalist grift over the past 35 years.

Unfortunately it’s not easy and will take time

Tariffs aren't the only thing he ran on. Some of us voted for Trump in spite of his tariffs not because of them.

If you vote on picking the lesser of two evils, then you have to accept the "bad" part too.

Congress abdicated their responsibilities 2 decades ago. This type of retort does nothing for me anymore.
