The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee begins their quest to retake the Senate in 2016 with $15 million in operational debt and $1 million in the bank, according to new numbers through the end of December.
That's down from the $16.3 million in debt the DSCC carried shortly after the 2014 elections, and is slightly lower than the $15.8 million it started out with after the 2012 elections, though it's still one of the largest burdens the party has carried in decades. That operational debt doesn't include a $5 million loan the organization took out to buy a house adjacent to its headquarters that it has leased for years and decided would make more financial sense to buy.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee has yet to publicly release its numbers. The NRSC had $9 million in debt and $3 million cash on hand as of Nov. 24.
The DSCC raised $168 million for the 2014 election cycle, tens of millions more than the NRSC did, but Republican outside groups more than evened the score and the GOP picked up nine seats to win Senate control. Democrats are hopeful they can win back the Senate next year, when they're only defending 10 seats to Republicans' 24.
I’ll bet if you checked the total amount of the money (campaign funds) each of the Democrat Senators have it would cover this easily.
I’m betting they more than make up for it in scams that take money from the taxpayer, funnel it through various groups right back to themselves.
A bill that will go unpaid. Didn’t the pantsuit’s campaign stiff loyal fellow travelers last time?
happens every year. They’ll crank up the machine and get Soros et al to bail them out..
Indeed.
“A bill that will go unpaid. Didn’t the pantsuit’s campaign stiff loyal fellow travelers last time?”
I’m willing to bet the unpaid debt will be written off dollar for dollar against income. So there will be no effort to collect it. The taxpayers are paying indirectly for the Democrat’s campaigns.
DSCC: "Money problem? How could there be a money problem? There are plenty of checks left in our checkbook!"
DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS, SOROS WILL MAKE THEM GOOD AGAIN.
IF THE CLINTONS WERE NOT OF SUCH COMMON STOCK THEIR FOUNDATION WOULD GIVE THE MONEY TOMORROW.
BUT AS MY GRANNY USED TO SAY DUKES AND PRINCES DID NOT IMMIGRATE.
This is like, chicken feed
I wonder about that too. Does anyone really know what happened to all the stimulus money?
That is called union dues.
A lot of money has gone to Chicago in the form of budgets for various czars that make their homes there.
For instance we have a carp czar, a great lakes czar, and an invasive species czar all apparently responsible for the same thing and none of them appear to do anything.
I don’t see the problem here.
15 Million? Dollars?
Just write it off or send a bill to their favorite lobbyists.
More misdirection.
Politicans running for the senate claim they want to serve the people and do good.
But somehow the lot of the people never seems to improve.
Yet by the time they leave the senate all the politicians have somehow become millionaires.
It’s hard to go in there without surrendering your idea of good to a million airy-fairy schemes, most with some kind of bribe attached.
Pocket change for these clowns…
After all, they DID build this…
Hey YOU…YOU in CONgre$$. Do YOU have more debt than YOU can afford? Why did YOU foist this on US?
6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents, and to ensure the part they are to act.
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.
