U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul said today that Medicaid spending would be better controlled if managed at the state level.

“Medicaid can be more frugally managed as a block grant program,” he said. “This change would improve America’s fiscal health without hurting poor people.”

“The same people who are now telling us bailouts and clunker car programs will save the economy were also wrong back in 1996 when they said welfare reform would increase poverty,” Rand Paul said.

“Entitlements and their unfunded mandates keep getting bigger and doing nothing about them is no longer an option,” Rand said. “We can’t hope to instill any kind of discipline in the system without slowing down the gravy train.”
