Isn't the U.S. just like an abused spouse?

Beaten out of wages and benefits, threatened with layoffs, raped of pensions and retirement savings, health care. Night after night, GOSPers come home drunk off spending trillions in borrowed Chinese Walmart dollars, running up the household debt on gambling and giving it all away to their pals, complaining about the unions and the media and the rest of that socialist cabal, and holding forth clamorously about their earnest intentions to some day do some thing about prayer in schools, abortion, vouchers, creation science, yadder yadder before snoozing off in front of the news.
