As Government Hits Debt Limit, Voters Reminded Of Tester & Obama’s Reckless Spending, Debt

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

“When Senator Tester 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 Jon Tester been doing in Washington, besides helping President Obama max out the taxpayer-funded credit card on the backs of Montana families?”
