Thanks to Americans for Limited Government, brings our attention to something you may have missed, namely a key vote in the U.S. Senate last Thursday:
It was also on this day that the Senate voted 60-39 to increase the national debt ceiling by another $1.9 trillion to $14.294 trillion.
It is the largest debt ceiling increase in U.S. history — in human history, in fact — totaling even more than the projected federal budget deficit for 2010, which CBO states will be an eye-popping $1.35 trillion….
The vote was straight down party lines, with Senate Democrats enabling the Barack Obama administration to continue the federal spending spree, putting my children and grandchildren deeper in debt. Yes, that means the Appointed One Michael Bennet on his 2010 U.S. Senate Farewell Tour, and Mark Udall — he of the “dirty politician filter.”
Another reminder for Colorado’s fiscal conservatives, limited government supporters and liberty lovers to get involved and support the GOP candidate who you believe best fulfills your values and can unseat Bennet. Let’s keep the momentum going.
I comment at the risk of being considered petty. And I’m the first to admit a deficiency in proper grammar, etc.
But…your first line says:

This tells me that I missed knowing about the vote because of the actions of ALG.
I’m guessing you are applauding ALG for pointing out the vote shrouded in quiet.
But put me on record as very frustrated about the debt continuing to pile up in Washington (and thus on all of us.)
Not at all petty … That kind of grammatical faux pas wouldn’t pass editorial muster. Usually I catch those on my own, but appreciate my readers for helping me to undo the errors I make in haste. I’ll fix it. Thanks!
