McConnell on government funding prospects: ‘It’s a pretty big mess’
The Hill ^ | 08/30/2023 | ARIS FOLLEY

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) didn’t mince words Wednesday when discussing the hurdles Washington faces in preventing a government shutdown next month.

“It’s a pretty big mess,” he said in Kentucky on Wednesday afternoon, before once again appearing to freeze while taking questions from reporters.

“The Speaker and the president reached an agreement which I supported in connection with raising the debt ceiling to set spending levels for next year,” he added.

“The House then turned around and passed spending levels that were below that level,” he said. “Without stating an opinion about that, that’s not going to be replicated in the Senate.”

Turtle froze for a second time. I think it was today... yesterday? He was asked about running again in ‘26, and then a freeze like at his presser a few weeks ago.

It was today—and the freeze was almost a full minute before they led him away....

His family and his handlers should be prosecuted for elder abuse.

Take the trillions the House will give you and be thankful.

Is one “Thank You” for trillion$ too much to ask?

OK, I'm relatively certain that 0bama and soros are puppet masters for Biden, but who is pulling Mitchie's strings and why did they go on break in the middle of his performance - was it union thing?

His Legacy will live on for 460 years.


Economists say longer than that.

Maybe the Turtle, Biden, Feinstein, Lindsey, Mad Maxine, and Pelosi can agree to retire in a package deal.

Raytheon, Blackrock, and Boeing have a severance plan, don’t they?

The “old crow” is done and so is the mummy in the White House. However, one old timer seems Presidential compared to the two “has been” politicians.

Any guesses to the identity of the Presidential old timer?

It’s time to let another Republican Senator be Senate Minority Leader.

Mitch can be ‘wheeled in’ just like Fetterman for critical votes.

---- "McConnell on government funding prospects: ‘It's a pretty big mess’ "

2000 -- $5,674 and 55% debt to gdp ratio
2001 -- $5,807 and 55% debt to gdp ratio
2002 -- $6,228 and 57% debt to gdp ratio
2003 -- $6,783 and 59% debt to gdp ratio
2004 -- $7,379 and 60% debt to gdp ratio
2005 -- $7,933 and 61% debt to gdp ratio
2006 -- $8,507 and 61% debt to gdp ratio
2007 -- $9,008 and 62% debt to gdp ratio
2008 -- $10,025 and 68% debt to gdp ratio
2009 -- $11,910 and 82% debt to gdp ratio
2010 -- $13,562 and 90% debt to gdp ratio
2011 -- $14,790 and 95% debt to gdp ratio
2012 -- $16,066 and 99% debt to gdp ratio
2013 -- $16,738 and 99% debt to gdp ratio
2014 -- $17,824 and 101% debt to gdp ratio
2015 -- $17,824 and 101% debt to gdp ratio
2016 -- $19,573 and 105% debt to gdp ratio
2017 -- $20,245 and 104% debt to gdp ratio
2018 -- $21,516 and 105% debt to gdp ratio
2019 -- $22,719 and 107% debt to gdp ratio
2020 -- $27,748 and 129% debt to gdp ratio
2021 -- $29,617 and 124% debt to gdp ratio
2022 -- $30,824 and 123% debt to gdp ratio

As 2023 is incomplete, the debt now rises quickly to $33 trillion, and only when we end this year will the final figure be known. It will pass the $33 trillion mark before year's end.

Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) -- his senate career began January 20, 2021 -- voted for this. So, he voted for ' pretty big mess.’

What has been done to our United States has been nothing short of a tragedy. McConnell voted again and again to add 27 trillion USD to the debt in 22 years.
