I’m proud my staff and I have kept that pledge while operating one of the most active federal offices.” Dr. Paul has also led the way for reform by introducing a five-year balanced budget and issuing a weekly “Waste Report” to shine a spotlight on reckless federal spending. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T21:04:55Z |
