U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., had this to say about the “stimulus” bill on Meet the Press yesterday:

I do think that there was some spending in the bill that was makeup for a starvation diet under the Bush administration, some important priorities of our party; frankly, of the American people.

As CNSNews.com rightly points out, McCaskill’s “starvation diet” was an annual jump of $1.32 trillion in federal spending during the Bush years. What deprivation!
