McConnell Desperately Tries to Downplay Covid Relief Bill: If Economy Booms, This ‘Will Have Absolutely Nothing to Do With’ It

He scared. NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR IT. NOT ONE. He knows how bad it makes them look. They fucked up and they all know it. Tis why some are calling a great bill AFTER VOTING NO NO NO!

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wasted no time offering a prebuttal to any upcoming economic boom, downplaying the effect of the massive $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill two days before President Joe Biden had even signed it into law.

During the Senate GOP press conference on Wednesday, just hours after the House passed the Senate version of the Covid stimulus package, McConnell and other Senate leaders blasted the bill as full of wasteful Democratic spending that wasn’t directly tied to the pandemic. Biden has announced that he will formally sign the bill, which passed both Congressional chambers without a single Republican vote, on Friday.

So the American people , according to Mc the dick is wasteful spending?

Last month, Goldman Sachs estimated that the $1.9 trillion Covid aid bill would supercharge the U.S. economy over the next two years, boosting this year’s second quarter GDP growth to a whopping 11% annualized rate and the yearly growth projection for 2021 and 2022 to 6.8% and 4.5%, respectively. Similarly, a Wall Street Journal survey of economists found the average expectation from Biden’s American Rescue Plan was 5.95% GDP growth this year, which would be the fastest rate in nearly four decades.

Sachs disagrees with you, Mitch. Gee, that never happened when you gave Millionaores and Billionaires a tax cut, now did it. You repukes have so much egg on your face you will have enough to eat for the next few years.

Despite these robust, expert predictions, McConnell tried to knock down any economic boom by detaching Biden’s bill from getting any credit for it. Instead, he highlighted the more than $2 trillion CARES Act of coronavirus aid that passed last year under former President Donald Trump — and that almost every Democrat in Congress voted for.

Well of course the Democrats voted for it. It is called the cares act and Democrats care about the American people, unlike 100% of you pukes voted against the Biden bill. One that will help small business, black farmers, children to have food on their plate, people that will have rental and heating aid.

“The economy’s coming back, people are getting the vaccine, we’re on our way out of this. We’re about to have a boom,” McConnell said, before adding his huge, not-so-subtle caveat. “And if we do have a boom, it will have absolutely nothing to do with this $1.9 trillion.”

The boom started when Biden became President and it will continue with him.

FUCK YOU GOP.

1. People vote against their own economic self-interest

It truly is amazing how they have convinced so many Americans that massive tax cuts for the ruling class and all other legislation that benefits the 1%, will benefit them.

Peace

16. These folks mistook "Trickle Down" for "Trickled On"

I agree, if anyone has watched the history of tax cuts over the last 40 years, the wealth gap has been dramatically large. Middle and lower class citizens have yet to see any benefit.

3. Mitch can spin whatever lies he pleases

But the American people know, who has their back.

4. And the $2 Trillion tax cut had nothing to do with the stocks on Wall Street....

...none of the wealthy people bought back their stocks. It was all because of the good governance of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump? Right, Mitch?
