National Review Online: Bennet Bombshell: Trillions in Debt, ‘Nothing to Show for It’

Michael Bennet, a Colorado Democrat, knows the truth. He mistakenly admitted it recently during a town hall meeting on August 21st.
"We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet. In my view we have nothing to show for it. We haven’t invested in our roads, our bridges, our waste-water systems, our sewer systems. We haven’t even maintained the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us."
He also said, regarding high public employee pay and benefits relative to the private sector, "This is a time when we need to restrain wages in the public sector."
Or was it a mistake? Of course it wasn't. I don't know much about Michael Bennet, but I do know one thing about all politicians in general: You can't trust a damn thing they say in an election year. And what a surprise, Bennet is running for re-election in ... wait for it ... 2010. Hey, how about that, 2010 is THIS YEAR.
So what do you think Bennet really believes? Is he a fiscal conservative, as these quotes might suggest? And as the Fiscal Discipline and Fiscal Responsibility sections on his website suggest? Well, his father worked for Carter, and he worked for Clinton. Bennet is an Obama supporter. I'll ask again: Do you really think he's a fiscal conservative or is this just election year posturing?
