As the United States Government today hits its $14.3 trillion debt limit, voters are reminded that liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has loyally supported President Barack Obama’s agenda of reckless deficit spending in Washington.
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.
When Brown took office in 1993, America’s national debt was $4.2 trillion – but today, in the wake of Brown and Obama’s tax-and-spend policies, such as their failed $787 billion stimulus debacle and massive health care overhaul, America’s public debt has exploded to a record-high $14.3 trillion.
“When Senator Brown got to Washington, our national debt was $4.2 trillion, and now it’s a record-high $14.3 trillion,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “What exactly has Sherrod Brown being doing in Washington, besides helping President Obama max out the taxpayer-funded credit card on the backs of Ohio families?”
