    @kaffekup Two hundred bucks a week IS a compromise, when you consider that a number of them want it to be zero. Take Ted Cruz as just one example — he was all gung-ho on the massive tax cut for the rich, but when it’s money for the rest of us, he’s suddenly remembered that Republicans are supposed to be against deficit budgets.

    Mind you, without continuing those benefits, the economy is even more likely to tank irreparably, since consumer confidence, already low, will bottom out altogether, and if no one is willing to buy then companies can’t sell, and round and round.

    Are we having fun yet?

    When I think of all the various things in the world worthy of hatred, such as hunger, war, racism, etc., I have to agree; Americans using British terms is certainly the most hateful of them all.
