Moscow Mitch Admits Democrats Deserve All The Cred
Post# of 123538
What an asshole. Enjoy the help that I would never vote for.
This will be repeated through red state 'Murica except most GOPERS will take credit for what they voted against.
(Huff Post) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday presented what would seem like good news for the people of his state: Under the American Rescue Plan, Kentucky stands to get $4 billion. Cities and counties are set to gain as much as $800 million to help them recover from the pandemic.
But he made it clear that he had nothing to do with that money. In fact, he and every other Republican in Congress opposed the American Rescue Plan.
“I didn’t vote for it, but you’re going to get a lot more money. Cities and counties in Kentucky will get close to $700 or 800 million. If you add up the total amount that will come into our state ― $4 billion. ...
So my advice to members of the legislature and others ― local officials ― is to spend it wisely, because hopefully this windfall doesn’t come along again.”

During a stop in Murray, Kentucky, on Tuesday, McConnell discussed the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 rescue plan that President Joe Biden signed in March. The senator said that so much money was not warranted at this time, when vaccine were widely available and the economy was recovering. (He also urged people in the state to get vaccinated during his remarks.)
“This doesn’t make sense. It’s wildly out of proportion to where the country is now,” he said. “Well, it passed on a straight party-line vote. Not a single member of my party voted for it.”

And he promises to fight just as hard against the stimulus bill.
