Yesterday Carol Shea Porter and Nancy Pelosi’s House of Representatives voted to increase the United States Debt ceiling by $290 billion to $12.394 trillion. In effect, this action increases their credit card limit for wasteful government spending with the bill to be sent to the American taxpayer.
The United States cannot afford the extreme profligacy of the Democratic Congress which has exacerbated the irresponsible behavior of the Congress in past years. Both parties must work together to restore fiscal responsibility and sobriety to the management of our national finances. What we cannot afford is to balloon our national debt to such a significant level that the world loses faith in our willingness and ability to repay our obligations. If they do, the financial crisis of last September will look like a pleasant day in Prescott Park.
I am running for Congress to be a responsible steward of America’s money, not a creative spender of it. Although the Congress has no choice but to increase the tax limit (lest the U.S. defaults on its obligations) Republicans were right in voting against this measure as a symbolic act to highlight the problem. They recognize that this measure is leveraging the future of our children and grandchildren and threatening to undermine the faith of the world in our financial solvency.”

Carol Shea-Porter is nothing if not consistent. She’s consistently ignored the desires of those who foolishly elected her with the hope that she’d represent THEIR INTERESTS. This latest vote only proves that she doesn’t care about what they think. She’s a slobbering lap dog to the hard left leadership that is currently in a position to abuse the power they think they have.
We need people like Bob Bestani to fill her seat. She is no longer needed - if she ever was! Hey, Carol! Goodbye!!!
