Uncle Mitch takes care of us.

Honestly, how?

Kentucky overall is slightly better economically than when Mitch took office four decades ago, but only as the national average for incomes goes up. That's mostly due to expansion in the Louisville area and a handful of tourism initiatives by Dems administrations. The old economy was tobacco and coal. Mitch has personally made a lot of money distancing himself from coal reparations or supporting a coal power initiative. It's resulted in some of the poorest communities in the country in the far east and west. We've got counties out here where the average household income is what it was when Mitch took office.

In that vein, McConnell just blinks when asked about efforts like SOAR in the east or hemp farming here in the west. He could secure funds or at least voice support. Instead he just says people need more information and then changes it to some attack on liberals.

Uncle Mitch hasn't done anything for Kentucky families in decades.
