As One Republican Senator Objected To The Spending Bill
All 100 members were required to give nod to move the legislation swiftly through the upper chamber of Congress, however, Senator Rand Paul objected.
The Kentucky Republican took the floor to blast the increase in federal spending limits, and in particular the fiscal irresponsibility of his own party.
"I can't in all good honesty and all good faith just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits," Paul was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.
