Yeah. And the irony is, by and large those in power including and especially the Dems arent even giving it to the poor and needy. They are handing it to govt bureaucrats and other rich people.

I think the core issue is the body politic of the USA has become not a body of discernment, but a body of fanboys. There is no word more befitting an Obama supporter at this point than "Fan". It has nothing to do with reasoned understanding of what has or will likely actually transpire in the halls of govt - just blind loyalty to the "team".

The same could be said during the G W B years as well - I hardly consider it a partisan problem.
