@VelvetDuchess We are, as a nation, doing pretty well. The GOP is just throwing the usual tantrum, trying to get concessions. Sadly, this particular batch of Rs are so ignorant and filled with bile that they may well make us a deadbeat nation, tank the economy, then blame it all on the DEMs. You know, because they themselves have NO policies to improve the lives of citizens, so they have to keep ramping up hate and fear.
