When I ran for the House, the debt just topped $9T. The man focus of my campaign was to stop out of control spending. I had a demonstration at all my appearances about how long 9T seconds was. I also prepared an example of how high 9T $1 bills would stack up. I’d ask people to take out a calculator and do the math with me. I then focused on how my Dem opponent voted for every spending bill. I even had it on my website.
I was in a Dem controlled district where their candidate won with 80% of the vote in the previous election cycle. The district, at that time, had three very radical universities in it. With no help from the national party, I got his margin of victory down to 77%.
