Reminder: Jeanne Shaheen Has Tripled the National Debt

Back in 2008, a national debt of 10 trillion was a disaster and an embarrassment. Irresponsible. Democrats had a lot of words for it. Jeanne Shaheen did as well. And she won a job in the US Senate that year. She’s still there, and that debt has tripled.

During the 2008 campaign, the US National debt was 10.025 trillion. That was a lot, and it was irresponsible, but Democrats elected in the age of Obama went right to work doubling it as quickly as they could.

Jeanne Shaheen rubber-stamped it all and rushed to the nearest press release or microphone to talk about how she’d get some of that for New Hampshire.

Under Shaheene’s watchful eye, the National debt is at 29.017 trillion.

It went from 68% of GDP in 2008 (too high) to over 129% of GDP (out of control) during her short time in Washington. And she’s piling on more.

I know she’s not up for re-election for a few more years, and there’s plenty of blame to go around, but when does it end?

This is a tax upon you, your children, their children, and their children. Possibly even their children.

If you want to talk about equity, why don’t we start with stopping this freight train (their imagery, by the way going back, I believe to 2004) that is not just bearing down on these children but has long since run them over before they’ve taken their first breath?
