Washington, D.C. – With Granite Staters more deeply upset about the direction of the country and the Biden agenda, Maggie Hassan is trying desperately to remake her image as a moderate, fiscally responsible senator at the last moment.
There’s just one problem: Her record says otherwise. Read more:
Maggie Hassan’s Latest Ad Says She’s Fiscally Responsible – That’s a Big A** Lie.
By Steve Macdonald
Maggie Hassan has approved a new “message” with which to interrupt my television viewing. That’s not why, though I’d be flattered. No, the purpose of the ad is to lie about her record on spending and taxes.
As a reminder, Ms. cross-the-aisle voted for the Biden line almost 98% of the time.
And when it comes to fiscal matters, I’m not sure if there’s a spending or grow-government bill Maggie Hassan doesn’t like…
Fiscally-responsible-Maggie voted to increase the federal debt limit so the government could spend more. She voted for continuing budget resolutions and voted for the Biden Christmas tree omnibus bill.
Another 1.5 Trillion Omnibus Bill passed in March 2022 (H.R.2471) loaded with garbage…
Responsible?
In 2016 when Hassan was elected to the US Senate, the Federal Debt was 19.5 Trillion or 105% of GDP. As of 2021, it was 29.6 Trillion or 124% of GDP…
The national debt is over 30 Trillion and climbing. Debt that Hassan has laid at the feet of generations not yet born. Spending that a fiscally responsible voice of the people would have blocked…
A Look Down Memory Hole Lane
As for cutting taxes in New Hampshire, she was forced to do that by the Republican legislature. Governor Hassan’s budget would have extracted as much as $59 million more from businesses. She also rolled in a number of other tax hikes into her plan, from tobacco to vehicle registrations, that would remove nearly 100 million more dollars from the pockets of businesses and residents and divert it to government spending.
When the legislature came back with something else that included business tax cuts, Hassan not only vetoed the bill, but the business tax cuts were a key reason she vetoed the bill. She called them “unpaid-for-tax giveaways to big corporations, many based out-of-state, at the expense of critical economic priorities.”…
That was thanks to tax cuts Governor Maggie Hassan opposed and was forced to accept.
And now she’s taking credit for them?
Sorry Mags, that’s not going to fly.
