Republican Congress members dance after passing the bill

There they were.  After passing a bill that will increase the deficit, take people off Medicare, take people off food assistance, end support for programs that will help to reduce climate change–and they were dancing and laughing.

 

I thought about the lines at the end of The Great Gatsby.  “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy–they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

I cannot think of a better summary.
