Clinton Campaign Piles Up Debt

ABC News This Week host George Stephanopoulos said that sources tell him that Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign debt could be as high as $20 million -- more than double earlier reports.

Seriously, how are we supposed to trust this woman with our country's finances, especially if she doesn't believe in economics.

1. Her campaign spending was discussed
several months ago when questions were raised as to how she burned through so much money. There was a great deal of comparison to the "upscale" nature of her campaign expenses to the frugality of the Obama campaign.

2. You'd think she would have started doing things a little differently.
But I hear both she and Bill have their own planes now.

Guess when you have millions and millions of dollars, frugality is an alien concept.

3. Just out of curiosity, did anyone ever confirm the "$10 million in 24 hours" story?
I always thought it was bullshit.

4. Nope. And when it was repeated recently, they said $8 million
with the amount for the general unknown.

I have a feeling when the numbers come out, we will all feel like she was bamboozling us.

5. "I spent $20 million of my own money, and all I got was this lousy pantsuit!"

For a contribution of $50 to Hillary's campaign, you can have your very own Walmart pantsuit with this written on it!

"I spent $20 million of my own money, and all I got was this lousy pantsuit!"

For a gift of $100, you also get a short, blonde mullet wig and a set of novelty "Joker" teeth!!

6. She can't run a campaign. She can't keep her finances in check. Thank God she wasn't entrusted
with anything more important than a second-place Democratic campaign.
