Michael Sandoval is covering the Colorado Senate Race for National Review. Today he reported this bombshell…
Liberal democrat Michael Bennet told supporters that although the US Senate has spent trillions since he was appointed, they have achieved nothing:
Sen. Michael Bennet’s recent appearance in Greeley, Colorado is sure to set political tongues wagging–Bennet is quoted as saying that though trillions of dollars of Federal debt has been incurred through spending since he was appointed to the Senate in January of 2009, “we have nothing to show for it”:
Michael Bennet, D-Colo,at a town hall meeting in Greeley last Saturday, Aug 21 said we had nothing to show for the debt incurred by the stimulus package and other expenditures calling the recession the worst since the Great Depression. [...]
Regarding spending during his time in office he said, “We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet” and, “in my view we have nothing to show for it.”
Agreed.
That’s why you must lose in November.

What’s the bombshell here? That the turd who helped create that debt is the last person in the state to figure it out?
He was lying then. He’s lying now. Throw his liberal ass out.
Robert commented:
They’re ALL doing it. All the Dems are spouting the message of fiscal responsibility, AFTER they have voted us into the poorhouse.
Just like John McCain, who changed his tune on amnesty for the primaries, let’s see if he makes it through September before pushing amnesty again. Too bad Arizona didn’t see through him, and bad on them.
Overall, the liberals of whichever party are lying to change their image to disguise their true colors.

Yes, Senator Bennet. And the Stupid Stimulus passed by one vote—YOUR vote.
LYNNDH commented:
Being in Colorado and knowing the Denver Post, doubt that this will get anywhere. Local papers are not much better. They have already started to smear his opponent Ken Buck. As they are Angle in AZ.
down with dems commented:
Well Senator, did you vote for any of that lovely liberal legislation that LED to this $13T debt? Oh that’s right, you did. And do you now regret that? Oh, now you do… but do you regret it because we have nothing to show for it, or because your party is going to pay a price because of that? At least you’re smart enough not to say we’re on the right track.
Granny commented:
And just how much of that crap did you vote for Senator? Did YOU stand up with the Party of NO and cry out against the rape and pillaging of our economy and our children’s future? Surely we would have heard if you did. . . .
Too little, too late. This is just as admission of guilt. You and all the rest of you who voted for this crap without bothering to so much as personally read a bill belong in jail!

Well…..duh.
Joanne commented:
Thirteen trillion – that is so sickening.
donh commented:
I would like to believe these politicians are actually human beings who not only have a conscience of guilt for what they are doing to the American people, but actually fear eternal damnation for their endless and depraved sins. Unfortunately the politicians are looking more and more like an entirely different species of freak creatures disconnected from the human race . Surely they must have been conceived in a laboratory with the DNA of snakes hidden in their blood.
Bobbi commented:
Right, Bennett just threw Obama under the bus, that’s who Obama was rooting for.

Economist Ludwig von Mises said long ago that when government prints money it only results in the “appearance of prosperity”. And that is exactly what we have ended up with. And to make matters worse, the Ruling Class use what little prosperity is left in this mirage as justification why the voters should return them to office for more of the same.
SovietofWashington commented:
Same as it always was:
“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot!”

The problem is, the money went SOMEWHERE, but they aren’t telling us who (all of the whos and whats) got it.
