It’s Been 1,000 Days Since Casey & His Democrat Colleagues Have Passed A Budget
It’s been 1,000 days since liberal United States Senator Bob Casey and his Democrat colleagues who control the Senate have passed a budget and today the National Republican Senatorial Committee has unveiled a new web video reminding voters in Pennsylvania that Casey has failed to perform the most basic function of a U.S. Senator.

Notably, it only took 410 days to build the Empire State Building, yet Casey still needs more time to pass a budget that will rein in his reckless spending habits that are bankrupting our country.
“It’s simply remarkable that it took less time to build the Empire State Building than it has for Bob Casey to pass a budget that will rein in his reckless spending habits,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “With our national debt at $15.2 trillion, the people of Pennsylvania need a Senator who will actually do their job and pass a budget to help restore our country’s fiscal house.”
