    It doesn’t help me, my wife or anyone that I personally know in my peer group. No, it’s not nothing but it’s not at all what we meant when we asked for it and it’s certainly not enough. It is just enough, however, to say “well, we tried” and add this onto their list of accomplishments for the upcoming election.

    I’m getting pretty tired of having to settle for literal scraps because the Democrats “tried really hard”.

      Are you ignoring how often they were blocked by the other party?

        No, and I don’t really care, either. The same people tell me to “figure it out” and “that’s just the way it is”, but I’m supposed to let these guys off the hook? Republicans never seem to have to make this argument about their party, why do the Democrats time and time again have to bend the knee to these idiots…they don’t.

        I’m just frustrated. I have been with my party for what seems like a long time now. It’s always the Republicans fault, and I’m just getting a little tired of hearing it.
