Senator Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao, The Secretary Of Labor,
continue to put on the Ritz,
while our manufacturing base is being decimated, "McConnellized" and Chaoed
Down".
Elaine Chao complains about the habits of American workers and their
skills gap but does
nothing to protect American workers from
unfair trade policies and when it comes to safety for American workers
Elaine Chao is nowhere to be seen.
I suggest "The
Godfather Of Green" has done more for Communist China than
Chairman Mao Tse-tung
and is a Benedict Arnold
when it comes to his constituents!
