Promise made, promise kept.
In Washington, "bipartisan deal" is a synonym for "increasing our debt"
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
One party seems to like some of the Bill of Rights. The other party, some more. Few willing to stand up for the whole thing.

The recent "bipartisan deal" will add 7 trillion more debt. And was hailed as an example of Washington "getting something done."

Let's move on to the Senate. If you want more bipartisan cooperation, talk more not less.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Allow more debate and amendments. Don't change the rules to run it with an iron fist.

Minor grievance: I can never remember when to move my car for DC street cleaning.

Today has another significance besides a Festivus: It is the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
So now some Fed Grievances.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Over 300 House members helped pass Audit the Fed with real bipartisanship. Still no vote in the Senate.

Fed policies make you poorer, and hurt the poor and middle class the most. Ridiculous monetary policies increase the costs of goods.

In response to some of your tweets, there will be no feats of strength, and I have no plans to end Festivus by wrestling with Senator Reid.

Back to Grievances…
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
The Senate cafeteria never has burgoo.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Grievance with my otherwise wonderful staff: leave the turtleneck alone. I like it and so do viewers.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Too many people wearing ties on TV as it is
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Back to the Fed: Congress has the power to coin money and regulate it. An Audit is the least we can do to conduct some oversight.

Obamacare is the untouchable "law of the land" but sequester cuts aren't
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
I still have a lot more problems with you people (Washington). I will be back later with more.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
One more Festivus grievance about bipartisanship. @CoryBooker doesn't RT me enough.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Sen. Booker responds:
U, me & "feats of strength:" Senate floor, name the time MT @SenRandPaul A Festivus grievance re bipartisanship. Booker doesn't RT me enough
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) December 23, 2013
We want more!
Update:
We asked for more, and we got it!
I have a small grievance — with people who think my hair is not real.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Well now we know, America. Sen. Paul had a few other grievances to air:
Congress passes too many bills with too many pages that no one has read. I have proposed a Read The Bills solution, a waiting period.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Term Limits. That's not a grievance so much as it is a solution to a lot of my other grievances.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
We should not be building bridges in other countries when we have too many that need repair in our own country.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Turtle tunnels. Squirrel sanctuaries. Look it up.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Every single item in @TomCoburn wastebook. http://t.co/EZrb2AFFxR

Though we have lots of serious issues, I also think we need to lighten up a bit. Hopefully we did that today!
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2013
Happy Festivus, Senator!
