Republicans Release New Video Highlighting McCaskill’s Reckless Spending Agenda WASHINGTON — When Senator Claire McCaskill first came to Washington in January 2007, the federal debt stood at $8.6 trillion – a figure which took over 200 years for our country to reach. Yet, just five years later, and particularly over the last three years as McCaskill has rubber-stamped every major spending initiative proposed by President Obama, the federal debt has now hit the once-unfathomable mark of $15 trillion – a 74 percent increase and more than $48,000 for every American man, woman and child.To mark the United States Treasury reaching the $15 trillion debt mark today, and to highlight the massive spending by Senator McCaskill and President Obama that has led to this point, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new web video – “$15,000,000,000,000…Siriously” “As a candidate for the Senate in 2006, Senator McCaskill talked about the…

Is This McCaskill’s Definition Of A “Broad Focus” For The Deficit Reduction Supercommittee?
Senate Democrats Seek $1.3 Trillion New Tax Hikes & $300 Billion In New Stimulus Spending, Instead of Serious Spending Cut Proposals WASHINGTON — In August, Congress created the bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, otherwise known as the “Supercommittee,” with a mandate of trimming government borrowing by at least $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years. At the time, Senator Claire McCaskill simply offered a vaguely worded statement expressing her hope that the new Supercommittee would have a “broad focus.” Over the last 24 hours, however, voters in Missouri have started to get a better idea of what, exactly, Senator McCaskill and her fellow liberal Democrats in Congress meant by that. Late yesterday, Senate Democrats leaked their current proposal to numerous media outlets, and its highlights include $1.3 trillion in new tax hikes, as well as upwards of $300 billion in new “stimulus” spending sought by President Obama. “We certainly…
McCaskill Votes To Hike Taxes On Missouri Businesses, While Coddling Captured Terrorists
Once Again, Loyally Stands Behind Obama, Instead Of Standing Up For Missouri WASHINGTON — In a series of votes that once again defined her Senate career as a reliable rubber-stamp for President Obama, Senator Claire McCaskill last night voted to impose a permanent new tax on Missouri business owners to pay for another temporary stimulus bill, while also blocking a Republican effort to ensure captured terrorists are not offered the same rights as common criminals. And she did this all within a one-hour period of time. “Claire McCaskill preaches fiscal responsibility in Missouri, but she votes like a typical tax-and-spend, big government liberal when she’s back in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond said today. “This vote defined a clear difference in next year’s Senate race – Claire McCaskill believes it’s the federal government that creates jobs with higher taxes and more spending, while Republicans believe it’s…
Obama & McCaskill’s Endless Summer…
One Year After Declaring “Recovery Summer,” Stimulus Failure Continues To Highlight McCaskill’s Reckless Spending, Broken Promises WASHINGTON — In case liberal U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) lost track of the date and forgot to remind Missourians, it’s been a full year since she and her fellow Washington Democrats declared that it was “Recovery Summer,” promising that their $787 billion in reckless deficit spending would fix America’s ailing economy. So, to mark the one-year anniversary of McCaskill and the Democrats’ “Recovery Summer,” it’s worth examining a few of the claims she and her party bosses made regarding their failed $787 billion stimulus. For instance… · The Obama administration claimed their stimulus would “save or create 3.5 million jobs before 2011,” and McCaskill claimed it was “about creating jobs.” But America has lost nearly 1.9 million jobs since she helped ram the stimulus into law. As President Obama admitted this week, “[s]hovel-ready…
Unemployment Rises To 9.1% In Wake Of McCaskill & Obama’s Failed $787 Billion Stimulus
In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) $787 billion stimulus failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, the U.S. Department of Labor reports today that national unemployment has risen again to 9.1 percent. Today’s rise in unemployment is just the latest development to highlight the failure of Obama and McCaskill’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington. While McCaskill and the Obama Administration promised their $787 billion stimulus would create millions of new jobs and keep national unemployment below 8 percent, the United States has actually lost more than 1.8 million jobs since McCaskill helped her Washington party bosses ram it into law – and national unemployment has remained above 8 percent now for 28 consecutive months. “As the unemployment rate rises to 9.1 percent, Missourians are reminded once again that the Obama-McCaskill agenda of reckless spending has failed to…
