Top Republican Confirms Do Nothing Agenda

Shocking nobody, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) confirmed Congressional Republicans have a plan – a plan to do nothing for the remainder of the year.

From Cincinnati Enquirer:

…"There's a lot of big important things that need to be dealt with that aren't going to happen this year," [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell told the Enquirer in an hour long interview at the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Sounds like McConnell and House Republican leaders are on the same page.

GOP Rep. Tim Huelskamp told the National Journal that Republican leaders informed the GOP conference they were finished after they passed the debt ceiling bill:

"That's what our leadership said—if we get past this one, we're done until the election."

And GOP Rep. Devin Nunes explained:

"We don't have 218 votes in the House for the big issues, so what else are we going to do?"

Nothing.

No plan to strengthen the economy or create jobs.

No plan to put forth a realistic budget.

The American people deserve better than to have their priorities brushed off by GOP leaders worried about partisan politics.
