As she today embarks on a so-called fairness tour to fight for “struggling Missouri families,” Claire McCaskill should take this opportunity to explain to Missourians how she avoided similar struggles by helping write the $1.17 trillion stimulus bill which was used to line her own pockets.

McCaskill’s husband operates or has direct financial interest in various projects which received payments totaling $966,270 in stimulus funds. McCaskill admits that she and her husband “share everything – assets, children, and a house. Some have implied that the assets of my family don’t belong to me. That notion is pretty archaic.”
