Senator Rand Paul has made no secret that he is against raising the debt ceiling and increasing our debt exponentially.

The Kentucky senator revealed that there are more Republicans that are coming on to the side of voting against raising the debt ceiling.

In an interview recently with Judge Andrew Napolitano on Freedom Watch, Paul said he expects more Republicans to side with him on voting against raising the US debt limit. We know already that there are many conservatives in the Senate, including Senators Mike Lee, Jim DeMint, and Marco Rubio among others, who are against raising the debt limit.

“I think the debt ceiling, many of the Republicans are now going to vote against it. More will vote against it than voted against the spending plans. And we’ll see what happens. I’m not sure exactly what the count will be.”
