McConnell Explains Plans to Shut Down Government


The Nation has audio of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) telling a room of conservative activists how Republicans will shut down parts of the government if they gain control of the U.S. Senate.

Said McConnell: "So in the House and Senate, we own the budget. So what does that mean? That means that we can pass the spending bill. And I assure you that in the spending bill, we will be pushing back against this bureaucracy by doing what's called placing riders in the bill. No money can be spent to do this or to do that. We're going to go after them on healthcare, on financial services, on the Environmental Protection Agency, across the board (inaudible). All across the federal government, we're going to go after it..."

2. So they don't work but for a few weeks a year, do their best to destroy the economy

displace millions in job loss and seem dysfunctional when it comes to running our country. Domestic terrorists.

4. Americans it sounds like

They don't like us and want to make our lives vastly worse.

5. How does he explain the $25 Billion wasted on the government shutdown by Cruz in which Mitch does

not seem to be able to control? Is he going to prevent Rand Paul from tacking on earmarks to bills? Mitch is in position to control these senators and he just stands up and looks goofy trying to crush any economic recovery we could enjoy.
