Rand Paul (R-Ky.) rose on the Senate floor on Tuesday, March 27, to challenge the wisdom of raising taxes on oil companies at this critical time, and to offer two amendments to the bill aimed at ending taxpayer-subsidized loans to the favored “alternative energy” sector, such as the $500 million loan toSolyndra, the failed solar panel manufacturer.
