    Some members of Congress apparently don’t like to be reminded about how much debt the country continues to rack up.

    During a House Financial Services Committee hearing Tuesday on the budget, two Democrats complained after House Financial Services Committee chairman Jeb Hensarling instructed that two monitors in the hearing room display a real-time running national debt clock.

    California Rep. Maxine Waters and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison both issued complaints about the displays, according to video of the hearing.

    “Clearly it is a political prop designed to message ideologically,” Ellison said.

    Waters asked that the debt clock not be on display whenever Democrats spoke, Hensarling said during the hearing.

    That sounds sorta like the preacher stepping hard on my toes during his sermon. Makes me squirm in my seat and hope he changes the subject soon.

    OR:

    Accept that my toes hurt because of my own failures.

    Can I complain to both parties about the fact that we even need a debt clock?
