Once again, liberal U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is attempting to distract voters from her support for billions of dollars in reckless spending and debt by introducing a minor, symbolic cost-saving measure aimed at aiding her uphill reelection bid. McCaskill will hold a press conference at the Springfield-Branson National Airport today as she continues her election-cycle posturing on fiscal issues, including her proposal for Congressional offices to return 10 percent of their office funds to the U.S. Treasury. Last month, McCaskill made a similar attempt to woo voters with a symbolic measure that would save only several hundred thousand dollars.

Liberal U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) not only gave President Obama the decisive 60th vote to ram the Democrats’ health care overhaul into law on a straight party line,…
