taz Know what ? You have impelled me to interest. Considering what the senior Paul thinks about credit it is actually possible. Now I have to figure out how to find out. Now mind you that privately funded grants and scholarships are not included in this. Only federal. Is it possible that all his tax records are available now that he is a senator ? I don't think so. But then maybe who knows ? Perhaps the college(s) records are public, at least when it comes to income. Actually, don't you think there should be a record of any federally funded gifts of any kind ? Maybe there is somewhere. I'll have to give this some thought. But now, not to decrease this issue there is another point. Public or private, nobody give grants or scholarships to anyone without academeic merit. If Rand Paul did take such public money he has certainly tried to pay it forward or something like that by giving away free eye surgery. In fact I was thinking of finding out about that before mine. Oh yes, I'll admit that I am not ready for complete freedon either. But we are to hold him to a higher standard, so be it. He has given freely, and the fact that he would not like to be conscripted is no surprise. That's a given. Now did he take any federal money or not ? I do not intend to go through 90,000 pages of CAFRs for this. But think of this, if he got fifty grand, that's what, a hundred or so cataract operations ? ( hey, what about any other politician while we're at it ? ) In this case even your strongest assertions are not accusations, except for the first one. And again. not to detract from the point, just so you know : I already knew how to read and do basic math before kindergarden, I tutored math in grade school at no charge. Later I worked for the A/V departement at Lakewood HS in Ohio for a very meager check, running movies, splicing tapes and films and repairing and maintaining the A/V equipment. I was under the direction of Dale Komives and it counted for occupational work experience. The money didn't amount to even as much as I bummed off my Parents. And for the tutoring I didn't even get extra credit. As such. who owes me ? T^T
