More hypocrisy from Rand Paul

The Herald-Leader has the story:

Rand Paul is building his U.S. Senate campaign around his opposition to big government — and especially the deficit spending that has led to a $13 trillion national debt. Costly programs must be slashed, Paul says.

But as a Bowling Green eye surgeon, Paul built his medical practice on payments from Medicare and Medicaid, the massive government health care programs considered to be leading contributors to the national debt.

...[Conway spokeswoman Allison] Haley said, "Rand Paul is once again displaying his hypocrisy by advocating cutting scholarships to our children, aid to farmers and nearly every other government program except the ones that line his own pocket."
