Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that military aid to Ukraine was not charity, adding that it created jobs in the United States.

Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you about your legacy. You said just this week that you often feel like the only Reagan Republican left. As you prepare to step down from your leadership position this year, what are your greatest concerns about the future of the Republican Party?”

Debt for jobs really doesn’t work.

They are not priming the pump, they are engaged in economic masturbation and getting their jollies at the expense of the future.

It sounds a lot like war profiteering.

Hes talking about feeding the MIC, which is what all this money to Ukraine is really all about. Congress is owned by the MIC. Miltary Industrial Complex.

It’s stupid. Makes as much sense as hiring yourself to mow your own yard.

We're $34 TRILLION in debt. Every dollar we send to Ukraine has to be borrowed due to the stupidity of the likes of Mitchie.

Republican voters just bend over and take it year after year. No protest, no marching, not even voting different.

McConnell and crew know gop voters will ignore all the spending and foreign aid and still vote for them.

The old fossil is talking about fomenting war to make money for the arms industry -- which has an interlocking directorate with the Pentagon. And investors in the US Congress and Senate.

As if that were the only industry that employs Americans.

He is a war criminal and profiteer. We need Nuremberg trials for both houses, both parties.

Well, HE DID get it right. It provided JOBS in the USA to make ammunition, missles and arms. That is what it was always about. And the politicians, to make sure these military contracts got into favorable hands, also got kick backs. We know this.
