Mitch McConnell - Kurt Schlichter's inexplicable notion of the most skilled knife fighter in the U.S. Senate leadership in decades - professes himself to be "delighted" by the new pork-barrel and cultural degeneracy bill passed by the House of Representatives (with the help of 13 RINO quislings).
As I suppose he should be!
McConnell noted Kentucky will receive roughly $4.6 billion in infrastructure funding from the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
This ambulant carcass of carbohydrates and greed does not give a damn for conservative principles. He's part of the old school that believes that what the people want to see is congress "doing something" - doesn't really matter what the "something" is, just as long as bills keep moving down the assembly line. And if a lot of that lucre happens to get swept up into his pocket, so much the better.
I have to say I'm not as upset about this as I'm supposed to be. The Murder Turtle is right about the Brent Spence Bridge, which is just waiting for the opportune time to collapse into the Ohio River. So he's glad to get money for that. Another reason to be delighted is that when the Dems start using their "infrastructure" money for other things like paying off illegals and expanding welfare programs, a whole lot of people are going to be looking at voting Republican in 2022. Despite the Dems claiming what a victory passing that bill was, I don't think they're considering all the consequences.

He thinks voters are all about 'gimme gimme gimme'.
ReplyDeleteHe's probably right.
If I were a long-time resident of Kentucky, and my senator of 36 years, who was a sometime majority leader (most recently under a Republican president who was very keen on infrastructure spending), couldn't get financing for a legitimate project in my state until a Democrat president and congress came along to float it on a lake of pork fat, I would be singularly unimpressed.
