MANCHIN ROADBLOCK SQUEEZING HIS OWN STATE!

[634-5789]

West Virginia has long been synonymous with rural poverty and, today, its median income is the nation’s second lowest, behind only Mississippi.

But like the rest of Appalachia and the South, West Virginia has increasingly elected Republicans. West Virginia’s Republicans haven’t crusaded for smaller government in the way, say, former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) once did, but they also have not supported major expansions of government programs, even as the state’s needs have quite obviously grown.

Pitiful. Manchin is killing his own constituency. Literally.

I scratch yours... Squid pro quo and all that. YMMV

2. That's why he does what's best for West Virginia's owners.

They have money to spare, unlike most of West Virginia’s people.
