Red Alert Politics reports on a speech by Sen. Rand Paul at the Ronald Reagan Banquet, hosted by the Young America’s Foundation earlier this month:

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) addressed a packed house of conservative students and supporters during last night’s Ronald Reagan Banquet, hosted by the Young America’s Foundation. The Senator from Kentucky had a very simple message for the audience, and it was one he could attest to having been a medical doctor: rarely does the government do anything well.

“Government doesn’t do anything very well,” said Sen. Paul. “They don’t get the right signals, they don’t have to meet a payroll, they don’t have to balance their books.“
