The sad thing is that the people who ARE having the hardest time are the people that the GOP/right-wing commenters consistently care the least about. People with medical issues with no ability to pay, people in medical debt, kids going to school w/o breakfast, schools with inadequate funding/staffs, people forced to live in homes with lead pipes, and on and on.
When bills (some even with a few GOP votes) are passed that address some of these issues, there’s the familiar refrain of “but, deficits”, “government is inefficient”, etc. All justified by an anecdote.
