thewayne"The Senate is not going to be bullied into rushing out more borrowed money into the hands of Democrats' rich friends who don't need the help."
-- Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, on why he blocked $2,000 stimulus checks
He didn't have a problem passing Trump's tax cuts for the rich, which added a trillion dollars to the deficit in one swell foop. But now that a Dem is going to be POTUS, it's time to flip the switch and start complaining about the budget and deficit financing. That stuff is only okay when the Republicans are in charge of the country.
I cannot wait for him to be out of office. He's done pretty much nothing for the last four years and especially the last two except rush mostly unqualified judge appointments through and hold a mock impeachment trial.

Date: 2020-12-31 11:42 pm (UTC)I just looked it up, Wikipedia says they're 44th in the nation, so I guess they don't need the money. Or at least the big businesses funding the GOP think the people don't. NM is 47th.
