...and she wants to control MORE of our tax dollars?

Oops.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) announced that her campaign war chest was "wiped out" by treasurer Kinde Durkee. Ms. Durkee faces federal charges for allegedly plundering hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of dollars from Democratic candidates throughout California.

Oddly enough, Sen. Feinstein does not know how much money Ms. Durkee stole from her. Why not? Because, according to Politico.com:
Feinstein said she and her campaign staff have been unable to access all their bank records at this point because Durkee alone controlled access to the account, which has made it difficult for them to assess how much money is gone.
Seriously? What kind of fool provides a third party with sole, unchecked access to a financial account?

Oh, wait—the same fools responsible for America's $14.7 trillion national debt.

And if Sen. Feinstein is this irresponsible with her own campaign's money, then what makes us think she is responsible with ours?
