As the United States Government today hits its $14.3 trillion debt limit, voters are reminded that liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has rubberstamped 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 Casey took office in 2007, America’s national debt was $8.67 trillion – but today, in the wake of Casey 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. 

Notably, despite the urgency of our country’s spending and debt crisis, Casey continues to insist that the federal government simply raise its debt ceiling without tying such a vote to significant spending reductions.

“When Senator Casey got to Washington, our national debt was $8.67 trillion, and now it’s a record-high $14.3 trillion,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond. “What exactly has Bob Casey been doing in Washington, besides helping President Obama max out the taxpayer-funded credit card on the backs of Pennsylvania families?”
