I live in an area of the US that is predominately progressive politically. It is so draining for me to have conversations with people and listen to people ( friends, family, everyone here basically ) be so certain about passing the budget without even a single practical thought about the national debt crisis. They can actually be so certain in their convictions about the need to pass this budget or fund program (x) and not be bothered to care how it affects people, our children...etc.

Very tiring 😮‍💨
