Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill said on Wednesday that America's $17 trillion debt threatens to put the nation "in a position where we're not a first-tier nation anymore."
McCaskill added, "I do believe a $17 trillion debt is irresponsible. I do believe that."
McCaskill's Kansas City comments were part of her "McCaskill on Main Street" tour. The Missouri Democrat explained that the federal government is now doing things it should not be doing because lawmakers "want to be loved."
"We have ourselves doing things the federal government was never intended to do. I mean, we weren't supposed to be buying municipal firetrucks at the federal government, we're doing that now," McCaskill said. "That's not the way our Constitution was designed. We weren't supposed to have the federal government paying for education. We are now doing a lot of that."

If she just found this out, she has no place in government. She needs to see a shrink.

McCaskill added, "I do believe a $17 trillion debt is irresponsible. I do believe that." How much of that $17,000,000,000,000.00 did you vote for, Claire?
Hmmmm???
It's all a matter of public record ...

She's trying to take a page out of the William J. LePetomane Playbook:
"We have to protect our phoney bloney jobs here, Gentlemen ..."
"I didn't get a 'Harumph' out of you ..."

Hasn’t she been a part of that debt? Maybe she should shut her pie-hole except to say “I resign”.

We got a good laff at her comment about fire trucks. Someone should have asked “Oh those fire trucks that Cal-Fire pull by the hundreds ?”

She voted for all of it. She's using one of Obama’s methods of campaigning against his own agenda to the people that are too ignorant to know it.
Guess today she will agree with the part of herself that won't pay her fair share of taxes. Tomorrow she will vote for more spending.
