CNN Political Ticker covers Rand Paul’s potential bid for US Senate in Kentucky.
Quoted in the article, Dr. Paul had this to say: “I think the bank bailout was a huge mistake,” Rand Paul said Monday. “We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries – the financial industry or any other industry. Most of that money could have probably been burned in a furnace for all the good it’s done.” The Bowling Green, Kentucky ophthalmologist pointed to the federal government’s support of embattled global insurance giant AIG, calling the company’s “worthless” despite the billions in aid given to it since last fall.
Bunning spokesman Mike Reynard told CNN that the Kentucky senator is planning to seek re-election in 2010, while poor fundraising numbers and a recent lack of certainty indicate otherwise.
