I'm not seeing any Democratic commercials heading into the midterms, though I am seeing quite a few Republican commercials.
Maybe that's because I'm in a solid blue district? I hope that's the reason.
And, I hope the Democrats fully exploit the gift that Mitch McConnell handed them earlier this week to get the vote out.
To the surprise of exactly no one who follows the issues........the Republicans have ballooned the deficit by 17% since Trump took office. They achieved this feat by decreasing government revenue (via tax cuts) while simultaneously increasing government spending.
This week, McConnell said out loud that he plans to reduce the deficit in exactly the way the Democrats warned he would when the Dems objected to the tax cuts.
McConnell, in a Bloomberg interview, illogically claimed that the massive reduction in federal revenue resulting from the tax cuts was not a problem. Instead, he said that Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are to blame for the soaring federal deficit. Bullshit.
