DC Dandy Mitch McConnell worth $5 Million
Shawn Dixon June 15th, 2007
Technically his wife, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, is the breadwinner in the family, but either way the couple owns a house in Washington, D.C. that is worth an estimated $5 million dollars.
From the AP story
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, said he held property in the District of Columbia worth $1 million-$5 million. But a large portion of the family assets is held by his wife, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.
Hmm….the cushy Secretary of Labor job, which is a postion appointed by the President, is keeping the McConnell/Chao lights on in their posh D.C. house. No wonder Mitch McConnell supports President Bush 96% of the time and even called him “one of the greatest presidents in history.”
Perhaps a lavish $5 million dollar home in Washington, D.C. has caused Mitch McConnell to forget who he is representing. While Mitch McConnell has been living it up in D.C. and voting with the President to give tax cuts to the richest Americans (himself included), Kentuckians are having a hard time finding jobs. In many cases Kentuckians are living paycheck to paycheck. The unemployment rate is perfect indicator of the growing financial squeeze on Kentucky families. In February of this year the national unemployment rate was 4.6%, while Kentucky had an unemployment rate of 5.7%, one of the highest in the country.
But don’t you worry Mitch McConnell, we won’t let you forget your roots that easy. After voters bring you home from Washington, D.C. next November you’ll have plenty of time to get re-acquinted with Kentucky.
