That is what it looks like, the wife is like the democrats and says she needs more money for spending and the republicans are like the husband and says no lol Then at some point when they fail to reach an agreement they get a divorce by losing their seats and ending their marriages in congress haha
More like republicans are the abusive authoritarian it's my way or the highway, parent, and the democrats are the always willing to please, non confrontational, submissive, spoiling, parent.     Is it any wonder this country is one big dysfunctional family?
sometimes the wife is right , would say in these economic times more spending is neccessary to invest in the family
Of course spending more is necessary everything costs more today than it did yesterday. How do you think the rich keep getting richer and the poor are deeper in debt because of it??? It's reckless spending that is killing us. Buying technical advanced war thingies, so we can give our old stuff to foreign countries (usually our enemies) so we will have a threat to make more crap to protect us against, and buying a new dress when there are already 5 new dresses in the closet that hasn't been worn yet, but they are not the new style.
Only if your definition of spoiling means breastfeeding your child until the age of 70. "Don't go out in the world and try things on your own honey, we have everything you need right here."
