The new health care law draws funding from sources that are not subject to the congressional budget process, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

RAND PAUL CALLS CHRIS CHRISTIE THE “KING OF BACON”
NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE AT A TUESDAY PRESS CONFERENCE IN FRONT OF LITTLE FERRY FIRE DEPARTMENT: “Senator Paul is accusing us of having a ‘gimme, gimme, gimme’ attitude towards federal spending when in fact New Jersey is a donor state and we get 61 cents back on every dollar we send to Washington, and interestingly, Kentucky gets $1.51 on every dollar they send to Washington. So if Senator Paul wants to start looking at where he’s going to cut spending to afford defense, maybe he should start cutting the pork barrel spending that he brings home to Kentucky at $1.51 for every dollar.”
KENTUCKY SENATOR RAND PAUL RESPONDS ON CNN’S THE SITUATION ROOM: “This is the king of bacon talking about bacon. We have two military bases in Kentucky, and is Gov. Christie recommending that we shut down our military bases? He wants to be this great champion of national defense. What does he want to do shut down military bases in Kentucky? … It is not helping the party for him to pick a war with me. It is a big mistake. It is not very smart. And it is not a good way to grow the party.”
