The new McConnell

From the Herald-Leader:
(Mitch) McConnell's office put out a press release this week announcing that the Senate's Republican leader had joined Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, in introducing the Returned Exclusively for Unpaid National Debt (REFUND) Act.

The press release says it allows states to identify and — get this — "return unwanted federal funds to the Treasury to help pay down our deficits and debt."

We don't have to explain why a debt-reduction strategy based on the states returning "unwanted" federal money is ridiculous.
