Senator Rand Paul Gives $600,000 Allotted To His Senate Office Back To The Treasury

Via CNN:

Sen. Rand Paul cut another six-figure check to the United States Treasury Wednesday, taking the money he said he didn’t need from his office’s budget to make a tiny dent in the nation’s massive federal debt. “We watch every purchase,” Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, said at an event next to an oversized check for $600,000. “We watch what computers we buy, what paper we buy, the ink cartridges. We treat the money like it’s our money, or your money, and we look at every expenditure.” The $600,000 reflects more than 20% of Paul’s annual office budget, according to a press release.
