I loved this quote from the first comment in the TNR article:

…. a terrific line by novelist/poet Mary Karr quoting her Texan grandmother: “A Republican can’t enjoy his steak unless he knows someone else is starving.”

Sounds mean to say, and I’m sure the MBF (Magic Blanace Fairy) can find a similar zinger re: the Dems, but this is the harsh reality we’re facing now. Only thing is, all of us will be starving if this demented (non)plan from the GOP goes through.
