What does that mean?
It is the time of the season when Republicans roll out lies and dark money. It is measurable. It is time for oppositional candidates to roll out their background checks as a rebuttal to those lies. But, it is amazing. It is like the changing colors of autumn; the time has arrived for the Republicans to roll out their lies JUST SO THEY WIN.
Did everyone hear what McConnell's PLAN OF ATTACK is for the ever increasing national deficit? No? I find it very interesting and typical of his special form of cruelty.
October 16, 2018
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (click here) on Tuesday blamed rising federal deficits and debt on a bipartisan unwillingness to contain spending on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and said he sees little chance of a major deficit reduction deal while Republicans control Congress and the White House.
“It’s disappointing but it’s not a Republican problem,” McConnell said in an interview with Bloomberg News when asked about the rising deficits and debt. “It’s a bipartisan problem: Unwillingness to address the real drivers of the debt by doing anything to adjust those programs to the demographics of America in the future.”...
Democrats simply don't know how to be proud of the years President Obama was President. He cut the national deficit in half during his years. He oversaw government spending and surgically reduced the spending. Never once did President Obama ever state, the spending was due to Medicare, Medicaid and SSI. Never once.
Perhaps to his credit, President Trump is not complaining about the programs that support American health and retirement. He is taking responsibility for the increased deficit and stating he has asked the Cabinet Secretaries to cut their budgets by 5 percent.
What is the difference in the relation between McConnell and Trump? I think it is a matter of taking responsibility when poor outcomes are resulting because of changes in policy and in this case it is the tax policy. Senator McConnell rather instill fear into the hearts of those that receive SSI and rely on Medicare and need Medicaid.
There is an inflation rate of 2 percent currently. That means those with fixed income due to SSI have to cut their spending. The spending of the people that receive SSI usually is cut to the bone to begin with and inflation hurts the very people the country would like to see happy and enjoying their sunset years. They did their part for the economy. The seniors and disabled should not be asked to sacrifice while Mitch McConnell enjoys basking in the tax cuts he brought that benefit the wealthy.
Enough of this already.
Remember, "It is that time of the season when Republicans and Dark Money are rolling out their lies."
