U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’ll fight a proposal to eliminate a 52-year-old federal agency that seeks to create jobs.

The ARC has been around for over 50 years and has done very little for Appalachia. It’s primarily a means for Appalachian politicians to funnel money to their home state & district pals to keep local machines beholden to them.

Why? If you would get off your lazy backside and get President Trumps cabinet approved and get Obamacare repealed and replaced the good people of Appliachia would be going to work right now.

Given the numbers, those jobs paid each worker $7,422.90, or about half the current poverty rate. Way to go, Mitch!!

So, a good indicator of the one of N (where N is a large number) of places where this bottom-dwelling, pond scum eating POS POSBD (person who should be dead) gets his graft.

Boy, when CW-II happens, I hope we have all the addresses of these folks.

Saves time.

They’re scared to death that if they aren’t handing out money the great unwashed masses will figure out they’re losers.

Trump called them on limited government and they folded.

Mitch McConnell: of Washington, by Washington, for Washington.

He is pure District of Corruption through and through.

There will be no fundamental conservative change until this chump and Paul Ryan are deposed.
