How is this blatant inaction seen as a positive by Republican voters (and the talking heads who tell them what to think)? Is this part of that greedy, petty "they don't deserve special benefits" perspective?
When Mexican immigrants and Syrian refugees became convenient scapegoats, Republicans claimed that we should take care of our homeless veterans instead. Okay, great! Put your money where your mouth is, Republicans, and HELP SOMEBODY! Somebody other than your billionaire donors, that is.
All I can infer from watching this spectacle of unwavering stinginess is that America has quietly morphed into Dickensian England, a place where greedy Scrooges hold all of the power, desperate Bob Cratchits work themselves to the bone for poverty wages, and the truly needy - personified by Tiny Tim in 'A Christmas Carol' - wait in vain for the assistance that would alleviate their suffering.
God might have blessed America once, but that's not who's in control here today.
