An Embarrassing Fact

This graphic from the blog of Yellowdog Granny reminds us of a fact all Americans should be ashamed of. But never fear, the Republicans (and their blue dog friends) have a solution. By destroying the economy and millions of jobs and redistributing most of the country's wealth and income to the richest people, they are turning the United States into a third-world banana republic -- and everyone knows that third-world banana republics can't afford to take care of anyone but the rich. Problem solved, and we'll no longer need to be embarrassed.
