The promise was framed as continuing to vote for tax cuts and spending reductions, not guaranteeing enactment of every spending cut. Paul voted Yea on final passage of H.R. 1, a major federal tax-cut bill that passed, and also voted Yea on a concrete amendment to reduce federal spending, even though that amendment failed. In the federal Senate context, those votes directly match the promised conduct during his same term.
