随着美国国债飙升至40万亿美元以上，联邦政府大举举债支出，肯塔基州联邦参议员、财政鹰派兰德·保罗（共和党籍）称当前局势“已经失控”，“两党都让我们失望了”，他不支持特朗普总统提出的、若共和党在中期选举中拿下国会两院，就向每位美国成年人发放5000美元的提案。
特朗普本月早些时候在得克萨斯州达拉斯举行的共和党中期选举大会上的演讲中提出了这一想法，并称其为“特朗普分红”。
在周四的采访中被问及总统的这项提案时，保罗告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他不赞成在“存在财政赤字的情况下发放分红”。
“我们当前的财政缺口高达2万亿美元，”他说，并指出他“无法想象在财政赤字的情况下还发放钱款”。
福克斯新闻数字频道周五已联系白宫寻求置评。

美国飙升的国债总额已突破40万亿美元这一惊人数字，且没有任何放缓迹象。
“债务问题非常重要。它不仅可能让我们破产，或是在未来某种危机中压垮我们，”保罗说，他承认这“是一种可能性。但你每天都在因它受损，因为它正在蚕食你收入的价值”，他暗示道。
“所以这确实已经失控了，”保罗说，“两党都让我们失望了，因为两党都不敢告诉美国民众，我们削减开支时，他们喜欢的某些政府项目必须有所缩减。”
保罗提出了一项计划，他称该计划将通过五年内的一系列开支削减实现预算平衡。

“我最初提出这项计划时，是1%的削减幅度，也就是‘一便士计划’，每年削减1%的开支，持续五年，再加上经济增长带来的税收增加，大约五年后收支就能平衡，”他解释道，“但新冠疫情爆发后，两党 frankly 开始像醉酒的水手一样撒钱……财政赤字大幅膨胀。现在要在五年内实现预算平衡，这项计划就被称为‘六便士计划’，因为需要削减约6%的开支。但这依然表明，我们不必取消所有项目。”
他表示，根据他的提案，削减开支的范围不会波及社会保障，但会覆盖医疗保险，不过他暗示“在不削减任何医保福利的前提下削减6%的医疗保险开支是有可能的”，他认为该项目存在大量“浪费和欺诈”。他还建议可以通过增加收入调查来实现医疗保险开支的削减。
保罗曾在2016年参选总统，但在爱荷华州共和党总统党团会议中排名第五后退出了竞选，目前他正考虑再次参选。
“我会说我们目前五五开，”他说，“我确实认为，至少共和党这边应该有一位候选人，他相信国际贸易对我们国家和经济有益，信奉自由市场，不迷信大政府介入并管理合同、收购他国资产，不相信发放我们没有的钱。”

保罗表示，他不“希望出现四位民粹主义者竞选总统的局面”，他希望“至少有一位自由市场派候选人。我可以成为那个人，也可能是其他人，”他说，并表示他将在中期选举结束后做出决定。

With the U.S. national debt soaring above $40 trillion and the federal government engaging in massive deficit spending, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. — a fiscal hawk who says the situation is “out of control” and “both parties have failed us” — does not support President Donald Trump’s proposal to dole out $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans win both chambers of Congress during the midterms.
The president floated the idea during a speech earlier this month at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, calling it “the Trump dividend.”
Asked about the president’s proposal during an interview on Thursday, Paul told Fox News Digital that he is not in favor of giving away “dividends when there’s a deficit.”
“We’re running $2 trillion dollars short,” he said, noting that he “can’t imagine giving out money when you’re running a deficit.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Friday.

America’s soaring national debt has surpassed the staggering sum of $40 trillion and shows no signs of stopping.
“And so, the debt is very important. So it’s not just important that it might bankrupt us or overwhelm us in some kinda crisis in the future,” Paul said, acknowledging that as “a possibility. But every day you’re being hurt by it because it’s stealing the value” of people’s earnings, he indicated.
“So it is literally out of control,” Paul said. “And really both parties have failed us because both parties are afraid to tell the American public that some things they like from government would have to be reduced when we cut costs.”
Paul has a plan that he says would balance the budget through a series of spending cuts over five years.

“Now when I first introduced it, it was a 1% cut, or a one-penny plan, and you cut spending 1% a year for five years, and with economic growth increasing revenue, the lines cross at about five years,” balancing the budget, he explained. “Well, when COVID came along, both parties frankly started passin’ out money like drunken sailors and… the deficit ballooned. Now to balance the budget in five years it’s called the six-penny plan cuz it takes about a 6% cut. But it still shows you that we wouldn’t have to eliminate everything.”
While the cuts under his proposal would not apply to Social Security, they would apply to Medicare, he indicated, though he suggested it could be possible “to cut Medicare 6% without cutting any health benefits,” saying that he thinks there is a lot of “waste and fraud in” the program. He also suggested that additional means testing could be used to achieve the Medicare spending cuts.
Paul — who ran for president in 2016 but dropped out after placing fifth in the Iowa GOP presidential caucuses — is considering throwing his hat into the ring again.
“I’d say we’re 50-50,” he said. “I do think that there should be a candidate on the Republican side, at least, who believes that international trade is good for our country and good for the economy, that believes in free markets, that isn’t a big believer in big government coming in and managing contracts and owning parts of countries, that isn’t a believer in giving out money we don’t have.”

Paul said he does not “want there to be a choice of four populists running for president,” noting that he wants there to be “at least one free-market candidate. I could be that, or maybe somebody else could be,” he said, indicating that he will decide after the midterm elections.
