17. The truth is "No Spend" Paul charged lots for his travel, no cheap deals for him.

Instead of purchasing his tickets early his excuse was he might to have to change his travel plans but a cheap ticket with changes was cheaper than the tickets he was purchasing. He is rotten to the core, attaching earmarks to bills he knew was going to pass and voted against the bills while claiming he did nit vote for any spending and run to his district with the proceeds. The Paul ots will defend hi. to the end but it does not change his dirty games.
