Jon Stewart Rips Mitch McConnell's claim that Republicans fixed the economy.

A graphic with a new hashtag, #TurtleBrag, appears as Stewart observes, “Unless my calendar is broken, Senator… the general economic improvement trend started before the November elections.”
Indeed it did, as observed by writer Phillip Bump, in the Washington Post. Bump says that to believe McConnell’s claim, you would have to believe that people expected Republicans would take over both houses of congress before polls made it appear likely that they would do so.


If you rub Mitch McConnell’s shell, you will receive five years of business growth.
What a shame that McConnell, and his Republican colleagues, couldn’t have retroactively saved the economy from the disaster they and President Bush created. Apparently their time machine only works when a Democrat is in the White House.
