Trillions in Debt and Nothing to Show for It
by geo on Aug.26, 2010, under The Economy, U.S. Politics
Don’t take my word for it, just ask Colorado Democratic Senator Michael Bennet:
“We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet,” he said. “In my view we have nothing to show for it. We haven’t invested in our roads, our bridges, our waste-water western union sri lanka point pedro systems, our sewer systems. We haven’t even maintained the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us.”
$13 trillion in debt and nothing to show for it.
Senator Bennet is outraged. Senator Bennet is appalled. Senator Bennet is campaigning for reelection western union united kingdom accrington as a fiscal hawk, crying for reducung the deficit. Senator Bennet voted FOR all the legislation that brought about the $13 trillion in debt with nothing to show for it.
Karl Rove’s Crossroads group produced this video claiming that while serving in Washington
Senator Bennet voted for spending that adds up to about $2.5 billion a day. A fact-check by the Denver Post disputed Rove’s numbers. They came up with only $2.4 billion per day.
You are going to see a flood of advertising between now and November with Democrats horrified at the deficit and debt figures crying out for fiscal sanity, and promising to end the madness, reduce spending, and clean up Washington. Virtually without exception, they will all be lying. Not spinning, not engaging in “nuance”, just plain lying. They lined up in lockstep behind Barack and Nancy and Harry, and they voted for this mess, and now
they want you to believe otherwise.
It appears that even some in the Colorado mainstream media are having a little trouble choking down the load of campaign crap Bennet is serving up.

Democrat congresscritters are scrambling like cockroaches when the light comes on trying to put distance between themselves and the last two years of legislation. There are already ads out there with Democrat congresscritters attacking Nancy. One Democrat even jokes about “good news for the election, Nancy Pelosi died”.
