    What is "disturbing" is that GOP transfers trillions of dollars of wealth away from the middle class, runs up the deficit with tax breaks for wealthiest, and then argues that NOW we don't have money for treasured, necessary programs like Medicare and Social Security. Just wrong.https://twitter.com/BChappatta/status/1052193038620012545 …

    (Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the U.S. budget deficit is "disturbing" and spending on entitlement programs must be addressed by both Republicans and Democrats.

        @senatemajldr, get out of office, as you have become an imminent threat to Americans, whose survival depends on their continued Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare benefits. You are harming the elderly and the sick in order to finance your tax scam. #McConnellResign!

        So basically they are taking my money & giving it to people who don’t need it...while destroying jobs of taxpayers so they won’t be paying taxes & the deficit increases even more?

        This MUST be a primary message of Democrats until midterms. And ramped up again afterwards. All Americans should hear about what the cheating Republicans are doing. Speak louder than Fox News!

        "Free shit for everyone until the national debt bankrupts the government into a new French Revolution" has been the primary message of Democrats since the 30s.

        Your tweet captures both the ignorance & greed of today's conservatives. The French Revolution was brought on by an unfeeling aristocracy that spent obscene amounts of money on their own pleasure while everyone else starved around them. The #GOP are aping that class. Tick tock.

        You're citing very antiquated (1960s) history that has been proven wrong. Here's some more recent scholarship for you:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10989629-from-deficit-to-deluge …

        From what I can gather, this is one of those right wing retelling of history that come to questionable conclusions. Goldstone tries to make the case for higher wages, only to concludes that real wages, relative to grain prices, declined. /1 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/454935

        What Dems need to convey is these cuts the GOP want to enact are direct investments into every level of the economy. Most SS isn't saved, it is spent living or surviving, depending on circumstances. M'care/caid, every penny is spent of that money, not hoarded. Jobs would be lost.

        What you, as a hateful politician, does not realize is more people are now working and there is a greater tax revenue. The REAL problem is you politicians will not cut your spending. Ugh. Is it really that hard to think with common sense?
