Senator Rand Paul has called for the economy to be reopened, saying that it is the only solution for recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n Appearing on Fox News, a bearded Paul said that Americans need to be\u00a0allowed to go back to work imminently or there will \u201ccontinue to be economic calamity.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTo people [who] ask me I remind them that we have no money,\u201d Paul urged.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have no rainy day account. We have no savings account. The $3 trillion that we\u2019ve already passed out is imaginary money.\u201d The Senator said, referring to the already staggering national debt.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s being borrowed basically from China. So, the irony is we got the virus from China, and now we are going to be more dependent by borrowing more money from China.\u201d Paul stressed.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only thing that recovers our economy is opening the economy.\u201d Paul asserted.<\/p>\n The Senator urged that Americans need to be released from \u201cforcible home arrest\u201d if any recovery is going to stand a chance.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not a lack of money, it\u2019s a lack of commerce. If you let people have commerce, if you let them trade, if you take them out from forcible home arrest, our economy will recover. But if you keep everybody under home arrest and say you cannot practice your business, you cannot sell your goods, there will continue to be economic calamity. \u2026 We don\u2019t have any money.\u201d Paul proclaimed.<\/p>\n Paul also slammed Democratic-run\u00a0states for wanting to keep the economy shut down.<\/p>\n \u201cAll these blue state governors who don\u2019t want to open their state, now they\u2019re clamoring for federal money to bail them out because no state revenue is coming in. We don\u2019t have any money.\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n Elsewhere during the interview, the Senator\u00a0speculated that Barack Obama criticized a GOP-led investigation into Hunter Biden because he was aware of \u201ccorruption problems\u201d while in office.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s been rumors for quite a while that people within the Obama administration knew about the corruption problems with Hunter Biden, that they warned the vice president, and maybe even the president about it.\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that there could be a smoking gun, that there\u2019s actually a record of some of these complaints that were going on at the time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
