As the United States Government today hits its $14.3 trillion debt limit, voters are reminded that liberal former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine eagerly supported President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Washington as they rammed through an agenda of reckless deficit spending.

As the Wall Street Journal reports:

The U.S. government is expected to hit the $14.294 trillion debt ceiling Monday, setting in motion an uncertain, 11-week political scramble to avoid a default. The Treasury Department plans to announce Monday it will stop issuing and reinvesting government securities in certain government pension plans, part of a series of steps designed to delay a default until Aug. 2.

As he tries to distract Virginians from his extensive partisan record as the Washington Democrats’ #1 cheerleader, Kaine is attempting to cast himself as fiscally responsible. But today, in the wake of Kaine and Obama’s tax-and-spend policies, including their failed $787 billion stimulus debacle and massive health care overhaul, America’s national debt has exploded to a record-high $14.3 trillion, contradicting Kaine’s election-cycle posturing. Notably, when asked on camera recently how high the national debt was, Kaine did not even know the answer.

“As Tim Kaine’s fellow Washington Democrats max out the taxpayer-funded credit card, Virginians remember that Kaine was the #1 cheerleader for the reckless spending that brought our country to this debt crisis,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond.
