... The L.A. Times’ political blog reveals that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is a staggering $31 million in the red.

(And no, “responsible government spending” isn’t an oxymoron, although with the way Congress has been spreading earmarks like grass seed over the past several years, it’s easy to understand why people think so.)
