North Carolina’s Senate race has become the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history. This is fitting, given how much in government goodies Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan’s donors and family have at stake.

Hagan consistently votes for government to pick winners and losers — through grants, loan guarantees, and special one-time tax breaks. Those winners align very nicely with her donors, the companies she’s invested in, and even her own family’s bank account.
