Democrats complain about presence of debt clock on Capitol Hill
7:26 PM 02/26/2013
Some members of Congress apparently don’t like to be reminded about how much debt the country continues to rack up.
During a House Financial Services Committee hearing Tuesday on the budget, two Democrats complained after House Financial Services Committee chairman Jeb Hensarling instructed that two monitors in the hearing room display a real-time running national debt clock.
California Re
p. Maxine Waters
and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison both issued complaints about the displays, according to video of the hearing.
“Clearly it is a political prop designed to message ideologically,” Ellison said.
Waters asked that the debt clock not be on display whenever Democrats spoke, Hensarling said during the hearing. |
