One has to remember how old McConnell is. What Senator McConnell is still selling is trickle down economics and all the frauds that go with it. By golly, the economy for the richest 1% has indeed grown over the last 34 years. But not so much for everybody else. The trickle down part has never worked.
McConnell, of course, fails to note that when Democrats occupy the White House, the middle class either holds its position or improves.
When Republicans hold the White House, the middle class usually sags.
And these Republican clowns still want to undermine Social Security, Medicare and now the Affordable Care Act. Yes, Republicans can take credit for people getting filthy rich without doing much for the economy as a whole. If you have absolutely no talent but inherit lots of money, by all means go to the Republican Party. They’ll help you become a Cavalier, and just maybe you’ll have a fawning entourage like Rupert Murdoch.
